Probably, but you didn't specify what rims you are running. I had 195/60 on my Rivi's, and even a 205 in the rear. Don't recommend the 205 on narrow rims. I run 205/50/16's on 16X7's all the way around now.

The 195's will not hit anywhere. I ran 205x50 on my pedrinis and they rubbed slightly at full turn. 205x60 did not rub.

Curt has it down!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) 205/60-15 do not rub, but make sure your springs don't sag. John |

Been running 205/60/15s on my Fuchs for years, no issues w rubbing at all...you will see the speedo spin a bit higher than it should be but if you're really worried about that it can be adjusted by a speedo shop. |

195/50-15 on Fuchs rubbed aft of the shock tower in the front fenders when the steering wheel was turned full lock. It wasn't a real issue because the wheel never gets cranked over that far when moving quickly, but you could definitely see it was rubbing.
All these cars vary slightly, so YMMV. --DD |

I ran 195/60-15 on my old creamsicle LE with original Mahle wheels. The tires looked and fit perfectly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) !!!
