Hi, I'm new here (but not new to forums in general).
I did read the tire sticky and did a search as well, but I'm still not 100% sure on this, so I figured I'd ask:
I've got a 2005 dodge neon sxt (all stock).
Stock tire size is P185/60/R15.
I'm needing new tires.
A relative gave me a set of almost new tires off of a late 90's ford contour.
....they are 2 sizes larger..... P205/60/R15
Money's tight and I'd like to be able to use these if I can.
Will P205/60/R15 tires fit/clear/be okay to use?
It's always been my understanding that you can go up or down 2 tire sizes and be okay.
I seem to recall running some tires like this (size) on the back once, but never the front.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Will these 15's fit ? (or will they rub the struts)

I did run that size in the winter (thanks for searching ) but I was on coilovers already. I let my buddy have my winter set-up for his Neon, and they rubbed his struts. I didn't even think about that since it isn't an issue with coilovers.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...
