I recently came into posession of some bridgestone turanza's specs are 205/45/r16. Will these fit on a set of Turbo II 16inch rims?

Yep, very weird!

It's fit, but the car will have an increase gap in the fender wells.&nbsp Also, the speedo will read too high.

225/45 or 50 will give a better footprint, and just clear in front.
www.tirerack.com has charts on most brands.

I will probally get a second set of rims and put better tires on, but basically I want to use the tires to till belts are coming out, like I usually do, or sell them, they arent worth much so I figure just use them up.
