I am looking at the BF goodrich traction TA's in this 55 wall height size . Anyone know if they will fit with a 205 width . I am getting Respeeds front coil over kit to make more room on the 79 front strut

205 isnt a stretch at all to fit on the car.

I know the 205/50's are on lots of cars , I searched. . thanks, but the problem remains . i'm interested in the 205/55 for a different reason. I am trying to find raised letter tires and there are not many options . the BFG traction TA's are raised in 205/55 and 195/55, 195/55 is a little narrow for a 7" rim I think.

thanks , but don't really care about the speedo being out by 1.6 mph. These BFG 55's just seem a little wide with the 8.4" width spec they report for it.
