Default 215/60/16 tires on AP1 wheels (winter tires)

A friend of mine is giving me these tires, and I need some winter tires badly. Would it be ok to use this size on all four AP1 whees? I know the rear wheels are wider I dont really care if the tires are not staggered OEM spec.

The rears will be stretched a bit but you should be ok, just know if you get a flat with a tire that stretched your rim is done.

oh and your speedo will be a little off as well, the tires are a little larger in overall diameter so your speedo will be off by about 5% slow. In short you will be going faster than your speedo actually shows.

I'm running 205 snows all around on ap1 rims and they can be mounted on 5.5-7.5 rims. Your 215 will be fine.
