You may have to transfer the tires between rims, and raise the vehicle for road clearance. One good bounce could destroy a tire. Check clearance with a stationary car. If you cannot put your hand between the tire top and wheel well, you need a lift kit. "Universal rims" is misleading, just like "all season tires".

If it does fit without clearance issues, your speedometer and odometer will be off quite a bit 215 is the width in mm, and the 55 or 60 is the profile rating, which means the distance between the rim and the tread (the road) is 55 or 60 percent of the width. So you are bigger in both directions My guess is it will rub, but check with a tire shop to be sure EDIT - if it's .64 inches taller, you have to multiply that by two to get the difference in diameter, and then by pi to get the difference in circumference. So, your overall circumference will be around 4 inches more than it is now. Again, check with a tire shop, they certainly know better than I do, or better than anyone who tells you "as long as the bolts line up" you'll be fine. you might have clearance problems. those tires would fit on the rims OK, but they are both wider and taller (larger diameter) tires than what is on there now.
