Tire Size

Hi,

Just to know if the Camry LE tires (P205/65R15) will fit on the Camry SE (P215/60R16)? Since the overall all circumference is still the same, I would assume there would be no problem? Could I go even smaller (width) for the tires like a P195/65R15...?

Asking this because I shopping around for winter tires and rims for the upcoming winter.

noob question. well. if the overall circumference is the same there should be no problem. but i would keep it close the same the same size tire circumference. use a tire calculator. i would just stick to the 205 width tires compared to the 195

it will fit. u should have no problems.

it is narrower and you will not have any scraping problems.

if you have P205/65R15 and go to P215/60R16, u will need spacers.
i did that it there is no problem

I called my local toyota dealership and asked the parts deptment, if I go use the Camry LE model tire size (P205/65R15) on my Camry SE. The individual informed me that would be possible as it would be off, he said that you would need to stick with the current dimensions (P215/60R16). I know the overall diameter would be off by just a bit, but did the individual over the phone gave me the correct information?

yeah mate,
you'll be off by 2.6% too slow. 100kph on the speedo = 102.6kph actual speed.

Nope. I went from 205/65R15 to 215/50R17, and I didn't need any spacers. For him to go to 215/60R16 is the same. Overall wheel size barely changes. If he's got a Gen 5, no spacers necessary.

The overall circumference between 215/60R16 and 205/65R15 is NOT the same.
