Default Question about vx wheels

I have a set of vx wheels laying around, and I was wondering if I could fit 205/60r13s on them. I know they would buldge out some, but that wouldn't cause too much of a problem would it? Any help is appriciated.

BAD IDEA. VX wheels are 13x5, and 205/60-13 tires are only approved for mounting on wheels 5.5-7.5 inches wide. It's unsafe to mount tires on wheels outside of the range of approved widths, because stresses on the sidewalls can lead to heat buildup and ultimately tire failure.
