Largest Size Tires

Anyone know what the largest size snows will fit onto my 2000 Focus ZX3?

I have a great deal on four Blizzaks, 215/60/15, but will they fit ok?? I currently have the standard 195/60/15.

Iffy. They will PROBABLY fit, but if it's possible I would get the fronts mounted before you buy and see if they'll rub at full lock or put your car on the lift now, turn the wheel to full lock and see how much clearance you have right now. If you have more than an 1.5" you should be OK. A 215 is roughly 8.5" wide, so you'll extend almost 2" on each side of the rim. 195s are about 7.7"

Thanks for the info guys. I don't think that they will fit. So no deal on snows this time.

That being said do you know anyone who would like to buy some barely used Blizzaks?? I am in the Toronto area.

Re: Largest Size Tires

they will fit, but for snow tires, go narrow. You'll get better traction. On the 15' rims, try and get 185/65
