Need Tire Size Advice Please
I would like to know if it is OK to use P245-60-15 size tires on 15x7" wheels?
Are the tires just too wide or is it perfectly OK?

Personally i dont feel thats too wide, but maybe too tall.Ive got a old set of 245/60-15 goodyear eagle GTs on my original 15x7 wheels.My car is a little over 1inch lower than stock & they're almost too tall for the rear & too tall for the front.Currently though ive got 255/50zr16 ultra HP plus goodyears on my GTA wheels.

I think the width is probably okay. If you want to check the height to be sure just measure from the ground to the top of the tire. Anything over 26 in tall and you may be getting to tall and have rubbing problems.

I think in the fronts it'd rub while turning. I have 235/60/R15's in the fronts, and I get them to scuff the plastic wheel well inserts while turning. 275/60/R15's are great out back
