I am looking for some steel rims to mount my winter tires on for my 92 eurovan. Will my 205/65 x15s fit on 15x7 rims with a 5x112 bolt pattern, offset 55mm?
TIA. |

I'm not an expert,but 205 seems kinda narrow for a 7" rim.
PCD and offset don't matter for the tire fit itself on a given rim.
The whole thing matters.
Look at the load for the tire too

The steel wheels (stock) on my '97 Transporter are 15 x 6, ET55. I am running 205/65-15 tires on those. No problems. The extra inch on the rim would add 12.5 mm to the inside, at the rim diameter. I am currently running 215/75-15 tires on ET45 alloys, so 10 mm additional inside, and there is no problem with those either.

| I'm running 205/65R16 tires on my 7.5" wide rims. They look a little stretched, but the side wall still bulges past the rim lip and they have been fine for 2 yrs. I would prefer a 215 in a perfect world, but again, they have been working great. |
