hi folks
I found some new 205/65/15 tires I want to put on my 1999 malibu but after looking closer I am starting to wonder if they will fit on the back without rubbing on the strut base...It seems after reading some posts that others have done this but want to be sure before i mount tires as they will not be refundable.
It has the 215/60/15 on now but I have read the 205 may last longer.
any advice or experience welcome!!!
thanks to all in advance

should fit,, 215 and 205 is millimeters for how wide the tred is.. 65 and 60 is the side wall height. 65 is about 1/2 inch taller than 60. and of course 15 is inches diamiter of tire rim.
