Tire size?
How much difference is there between 215/60/16 and 225/60/16? What kind of problems will this have on a 94 Bonnie if any? Thanks

My stock is 225/60/16 my lumina alloys have 215/60/16 on them the man at the super center said it would screw things up in size and speed and performance and handling. I just didn't know what all it would do? Thanks Dan

OK, then you will be going 1.8% slower then your speedo says. The tires is a bit narrower so you will have less traction. But it wont screw anything up, much. Just a slight difference on the speedo.

+1 Other than the speed being off slightly as said you won't notice the little difference in size. Are you running all 4 the same size? Having 215 on the front and 225 on the back might mess with the anti lock operation a little in the worst case situation.
