By putting smaller tires on the front, you tend to overstress those tires. They will have less traction than the larger rear tires. That means if the road has any problems, such a rain, snow, or it’s a dirt road, your car will not want to go around a corner.

Answer: This is a 16×3 rim with a 3/4 Axle, most Harley rims are interchangeable. If your stock wheel shares the same specs it will fit.

On front-wheel drive cars, which already tend to understeer, putting a wider tire on the back is a detriment to handling. 90% of the braking, all of the power delivery, and most of the weight-bearing is being done by the smaller tires.

Short answer, it will be fine. Long answer, it will be fine as long as the load rating is equal or higher capacity. Not many high load rated tires in those sizes, so probably ok. Tire sizes are metric, and are read as follows: 205(tread width in mm)/65(side wall ratio, so 65% of tread width)R15(rim 15 inch diameter).

Since you’re going to a smaller tire you do not have to worry about reduced wheel well clearance. A 225/75-15 tire is approximately 28.4-inches in overall diameter when inflated while a 205/75-15 tire is about 27.1-inches. The difference in width between a 225mm and 205mm tire is 20mm, or about 3/4-inch.

Yes, it certainly can.

Although, it’s a good idea to place narrower tires at the front of your car and wider ones at the rear, it’s pointless to install wider tires on one side of your vehicle. So, first things first, the 215 tires have a narrower width than 225 tires….215 vs 225 Tires.

Section width of tire (Example: P 225/45R17 91V) The section width can be converted to inches by dividing the width in millimeters by 25.4 like so: (225 millimeters) / (25.4 mm/in) = 8.86 inches.
