195/65/15" studded snows-will they fit??

on an 04 MCS?? 195/65/15's on steel wheels. i'm wondering if i'm going to have rubbing issues higher up?? they are coming off an old car of mine and still have a ton of tread and the studs look almost new.--trying to save some cabbage for a nice set of summers

you can try and fit them, they are 25.0 inches in diameter, and I have seen that height to rub regularly on some mini's.

Hmm I had the same question. what about without the studs? No that it makes a much of a difference. I would like to know before I unmount them and remount them on another set of wheels.

My 17" with runflats are 24" in diameter so i'm betting the extra inch overall won't be a problem. That's a net 1/2" all around the inside of the wheel well which shouldn't be an issue, especially with a 195 width

I''m gonna try it next winter--worst case i have to dismount them and put them on my other car.
