Tried to post this in the "wheels/tires" section but it wouldn't let me.

It's been a while since I've dealt with tire sizes but I'm looking for snow tires and found ones that are 215/55R16 for my stock wheels. Will this fit work? It's slightly wider than stock.

 

For winter time you will actually want tires that are not wider, though they will work in terms of fitment. I think you should stick with 205's if not 195's if they are going to be strictly winter tires.

Also, for your future tire sizing needs just google tire width/size calculator. You will be able to see what width tires are recommended for what width wheels.

 

Plus, I think the thinner tires are a little cheaper? That's always a plus haha.

 

Nice. Thanks for the info! I had no idea that the width affected the radius of the tire. Discount Tire's website shows a 215 as an alternative "plus 0" fitting. My speedometer will be off by 1 mph (slower) but nothing terrible.

 

Well width is better for the snow because, the skinnier the tire the easier it will be to "cut" through the slush and snow. That's more of what I was getting at but yes haha.
