K didnt see this one yet? I currently have 205/45-16's on the front tire. I got a flat today and just need to get my car home. if i hit hard bumps my rear tires rub but not front. got some steelies but they are 205/60-15 do you think they will fit?

205/60 = 123mm sidewall height
15" inch rim = 381mm
overall height = 504 mm

205/45 = 92.25mm sidewall height
16" inch rim = 406.4mm
overall height 498.65 mm

the steelie height is only 6 mm taller than what you have now

yeah, im sure you'll rub a bit, but it wont be un-driveable. you'll probably just use a smaller turning radius to keep the tires off of your fenders, or raise the ride up a lil bit to clear until your get your situation all sorted out

If the front tire had the flat, swap a rear tire to the front and put the donut/steelie on the rear

Better to use 2 same size wheels/tires in the front where the drivetrain is driving the wheels than in the back where they're just spinning freely.

Post in the for sale thread.

And why are you running a staggered setup on a FWD car?

I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize the front was different size than the rear :oops:
