I currently have the 5.5" steel wheels, with tires 205-60-15 on them. What other size tires can I put on these rims? Can i put 205-50-15, or anything a little wider? TIA

I had a set of 205/60/15's. They rubbed the inner front fenders when the wheels were turned all the way. 205/50/15"s are much smaller in diameter which will increase rpm at hi-way speeds. I ended up with a set of 195/55/15 BFGoodrich Sport Comp-2's.
