This has really improved the handling, stance, and road comfort by A LOT! It gives my Soul a more cross-over look to. The tires a a fair about wider and taller. That said, the only dimensions you can change are the width and aspect ratio — never the wheel size, Can I use 205 60r16 instead of 205 55r16?

In the tire comparison table above, you can see a detailed calculation of the size difference between 205/60 R16 and 215/60 R16 tire. The calculation results are presented in the form of visual infographics, on which tire with size 205/60 R16 is on top, and tire with size 215/60 R16 below. Both in the table and in the graph, the tires are 1. better handling in snow and rain. 2. quieter (if that will matter) 3. closest to stock tire. The tires are Kumho HP4. 215/60/16 TIRE: sect width - 8.6". diameter - 26.1. rev per mile - 798. 225/60/16 (This one is closer to stock tire, but this is EXCEEDING the stock diameter, I am not sure if it will fit)
Different. Overall Diameter. The 225/60R16 tire has an overall diameter of 26.63 inches (676.4 mm), while the 215/60R16 tire is slightly smaller, at 26.16 inches (664.4 mm). This 1.8% difference results in marginally higher ground clearance for the 225 tires, which can be advantageous in off-road scenarios or when navigating rough terrain.
Stock size was also 205/60/16. 215 width tires were standard on the USDM 06-07 V6 Accords with 6.5" rims, so you can definitely put 215 tires on your rims.
