Hi guys. I am ordering my rims right now from carmodifier.com. They are the American racing split in 16". The guy on the phone is recomending a 205-60-16 but i called the toyota dealer and they reccomended 215-60-16. Does it make any difference?...... thanks

What car is this for? If it's for the 2007 Camry, then the stock tires are 215/60/16's. 205's seem really narrow.

According to the tire calculator, the 205-60-16's will register a 2% difference on the spedometer and in overall diameter.

it's for an 03 Cam.

go with 215/55r16....its only 1.5% difference

I changed my mind and went with 17" wheels. would it be a bad idea to get 215/50-17?

What's the width of the wheels?
