[urq] Tire size!

[Ed Kellock]

I have a question too...  Was the previous stock size 205/60-15?  I am
looking for snow tires for my urq and am trying to match diameter with
215/50-15, which isn't easy.  There's a big difference in diameter between
215/50-15 and 205/60-15.  Well not huge, but noticeably on the speedo.  Did
they change the speedo gearing when they changed stock tire size?

Brandon is correct. No rubbing issues with 15x8 ET24 wheels.
