Some local "used for one season" studless snow tires on craigslist for a really good price. However they are 205/65/15s.

The width does not worry me, but they are a full inch larger diameter. Think that is too big (i.e. potential rubbing)?

I did some forum searching and the typical 17 and 18 inch sizes that people here tend to stick with are not usually that larger. Speedo difference would only be 4 percent.

Any input is helpful.

Here's 205/60 on the front; you'll have rubbing at full lock unless you're willing to do a bit of hammering, but it shouldn't be that bad

Thats the exact size tires I'm running on my 2005 xa. They came with some rims I wanted. They did make me go down 2mpg if you care. I track every fill up I've ever done on the car so it's not a number pulled outta my ___ like most people do

I've run Falken ZEIX 512s on my 05 xB spring through fall in 205/55 x15" on four aftermarket alloys with absolutely no issues. In winter I have another set of four alloys with Hankook snow tires (iCE PiKE?) in 195/65 x15—again, with no problems. 168,00 miles and almost nine years!

I have 205/65/15 the rear no issues at all. The front will rub at full turn and you may have to trim a little off the plastic. About a inch in the arch where it rubs. When they get a little wear the rub goes away.
