    Tire size
    What is the problem with putting a 205/60R16 on a Cadillac Seville? The tire shop stated that they could not put 205's on the car, because the packard on the door panel states that the car should have 225's on it. What is the problem with the difference in size?:rolleyes:

    That is a much smaller tire that is recommended for your Seville. The tire, being much smaller, has less load capacity than is required for that car. Not to mention the loss of handling that could be experienced with a tire so small.

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4 with the off road package. My tires now are 265/70/17. I was wanting to know how big of a tire could I get without scrubbing or causing any damage. The tires I have now look like bicycle tires. They just don't fill the gap.
