i'm pretty sure the ones i have were a 6inch rim with a 225.
you can squeeze the 215's on a 5.5 inch rim.. your going to lower the pressure & bow the shit outa the sidewall anyways! I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't plan on doing any cornering with those tires on there & that much sidewall flex.
lower the pressure, get a good contact patch & light 'em up!
*btw, the new turbo ended up being bad (spitting oil everywhere) & i put my old one back on while they go through the warrenty process with the new one & holy shit did it wake up when i 18psi. I need to go back to the track!
