not many manufacturers make 195/60/16. user reviews on the few that do make them are poor to mediocre. would the 215/55/16 fit on the standard rim without any suspension modifications?

Don't see why not, I have 225/45/17's and others are running the same 225 width on 18's. Only problem I see would be the 6.5" width of the stock rim, but should be ok.

it's my fault that i wasn't more accurate with my question. i meant to ask if the standard rim would accommodate 215/55/16?

robbiej

Call your local tire shop and ask them if this tire size would fit on your stock rims. Haven't heard of anyone running that size on stock rims.

that's what i'm going to do, but isn't the original rim 6.0" and not 6.5" ?

robbiej

Could be, never paid any attention to it, my bad, just thought it was 6.5.

No the original rim is 16 x 7. Thats what size wheel i am using with the oem tires. It fits just fine. You can even go to the dealership and take a tape measure. measure one of the scion 16 rims that you can buy for like 700 bucks. Thats what i did to make certain before ordering.

i can't say carsdirect.com is the gospel, but according to them, the scion xd uses 6.0x16 rims.

All i know is what the tape measure told me and what my oems are wrapped around right now. I had no issues putting my oem's on a set of 16x7's and i had the dealers do it before i picked up the car. maybe that one inch does not make that big of a difference, i dont know.

It shouldn't be a problem, the width is fine and it will be a tad taller. It will also throw off your speedo a little, but you will be fine
