You cannot move both up or down without drastically changing the tire diameter. In this case, going from 215/60 to 205/55 will make a smaller tire. If you go from 215/60 to 225/55, that will be roughly the same, but I don't think 215/55 is a common size. Alternatively, you could go from 215/60 to 205/65. That would close too. You can bump section width 10, but then you need to bump ratio 5 in the opposite direction. | |

They might have a manufacturer recommended maximum, but I've never run across a tire I couldn't get mounted on a wheel, as long as the rim was correct. The sidewall will squish to where it needs to be. | |
