Just wondering what size tire works with a 16x5.5 rim?

I think your going to be limited to the 205 maybe 215 range, I would look for a tire thats as close in overall dia to the tires that your spare will play backup to.

Tire rack has pretty good cross referencing, find your current tires, hit specs and then go down the list. it will show overal dia and rim widths etc..

When you find a tire thats pretty close the just go back and search that particular size and then look for the highest load rating etc....

I have to do the same thing except the Porsche space saver I just picked up is a 15" steelie outta an older 911 vert that a local shop is converting to electric. Going green means you loose the spare for an assload of heavy batteries :D And I get the spare for next to nothing 8)
