i have stock WRX rims on my car and my grandpa just gave me two tires for another car he doesnt have any more. The tires on the rims now are 205/55/16 and they dont rub or cause problems. The tires i just received are goodyear eagle RS-A 215/55/16 does anyone know if these will rub real bad, or cause any other problems? thanks!

They wont rub, but you shouldn't mix and match sizes UNLESS they have the exact same rolling diameter. Get out your measuring tape...

The 205/55 16s have a non-load circumference of 78.2 inches, and the 215/55 16s have a non-load circumference of 79.5 inches. I think the difference has to be less than an eighth of an inch right?

I would check and make sure you will have enough clearance. I have 205/55/16 on the same wheels and I don't think any large of a tire would fit. I barely don't rub now.

Agreed. Same with the WRX wheels I have as spare wheels.
