Tire Size

I have a set of 15 inch rims with 205/60/15 tires. I cannot get them to fit my 79 rx any help on if the rims will even fit. I may need to reduce tire size. I am hitting the shocks. I can get the rim information if needed. But I would really like to get these tires to work.

welcome to the board.

I don't usually get involved with threads like this, but have you tried a spacer? the wheel's probably the wrong offset.

what is the biggest offset allowed that will fit the car? I got a good price on them for being 4x110.
