Would 205/55-16 tires fit on a rim that can also fit 195/55-16?

Thanks!

It would probably fit on the rim, but not on your car.

Ends up one of the wheels I bought had a 205/55-16 on there, and I lined it up, and definatly a no-go. Reason I ask is there are much better deals on 205/55-16s on eBay than 195's.

Depends on the offset Garrett. Have a look at the FAQ in the suspension section. It lists sizes and offsets needed.

Do you know the offset of the wheels you have ???

Thats the bolt pattern, not offset.

No. Please explain. I have never had to buy tires before.
