Hi,
I recently placed an order with TireRack for 15" rims with 185/60-15 for my P5. They put the order on 'Hold' because they needed my confirmation that this size would fit. Apparently, it's not one of their recommended or approved sizes. I ran comparison through two different sizing programs and found they're 0.3% difference in diameter to the stock 195/50-16. They're also rated approx. 100pounds less for loading (around 1100pounds). I couldn't see any thing obvious as to why it was flagged. Has anyone had problems with fitment? Brand is Michelin X-Ice. I wanted a narrower profile for a bit better traction in snow.
Thanks,
Devin
 
you'll be fine. you might even be able to get away with a 65 series. i myself have 205/55/16 on stockers, and i'm lowered
