trust me, don't put a 205/55/R15 on a 6 inch wide rim. reason being is that the tire bulges over and you don't use most of the contact patch. if your looking for a lower profile tire to use on a stock wheel then get a 195/50/R15 or a 195/45/R15 (if they make them, not too sure). here's what i'm talking about,
