Just bought a 2015 Civic Coupe. I have a spare set of older properly-sized winter tires for this year (195/65R15) with probably only a winter left in them. So that's fine for this year. But a year from now, the lease on my Mazda CX-3 will be up and we're planning on replacing it with a CX-5 instead.
That means I'll need a new bigger set of winter tires for the CX-5 and I'll have a leftover set of nice Michelins with only about 15,000kms on them. I'd love to be able to use them on my civic next year instead of taking a loss on selling them and having to buy a whole new set for the civic.
Problem is, they're 215/60R16 making them +1.28" diameter or 5% larger than the civic's stock 205/55R16s.
Will I be able to use these 215/60R16s on my civic without any major issues?
I understand it will throw the speedo off by 5%. I can deal with that. But what about wheel well clearance? Will they rub? affect ABS? Traction control?
