Has anyone tried 215/60R16 on their car? Will it fit???

NO!!! A 60% aspect ratio of 215mm equates to 5.07 inches of tire sidewall. If you're already putting 16 inch rims on the car plus 5.07 more inches of tire, you will be scraping fender liners everytime you hit a bump!

I concur, those are huge tires.
A 215/45 would probably be a nice fit.

I thought so.... that makes the overall height a little over 26 inches, when stock is just over 24 inches.
The two inch add is too much even with stock suspension, huh?

These are on RS rims and came off an RS. Does the RS have a bigger fender well than our cars do?

I've done 215/45/17, but that's as big as I've tried.
