I have 165/75/r15s on my mk2 jetta and i thought they were to big but they aren't. they are big, but not too big. Dunno bout your car. See if they have tires on rims that match the bolt pattern and see if they fit?

what car you have also helps.
ecodiesel doesnt really say anything except what type of fuel pump you have and a few other things

yeah, I guess if your running 75 radial on yours 70 should be safe on mine.

They should be fine.

In the summer I run a 205/40r 16 in the winter I run a 185/65r 15

The 15 tires are huge in comparison and I do get some slight rubbage at full lock but other than that they are fine.

Oh ya, my car is lowered about 2" as well.
