What's the biggest summer radial tire size that I can install on a 15" rim. The OEM size is 225/60. Blair... >What's the biggest summer radial tire size that I can install on a 15" >rim. The OEM size is 225/60. 1) The diameter of any tire, if it's the same (+/- 4%) will work. So, you can go to a 55 or 50 or if you're really nits, 45 series tire. 2) The width of the rim will dictate how wide you can go. You could go wider but it starts getting silly. I wouldn't go more than 235.
