Default Gary@Tirerack - tire substitution question

Have a set of 205/55-16 Blizzaks (currently on my A6) that I'd like to move to a car with OEM tire size 215/55-17 ('05 Toyota Avalon).

Too big a difference? Rubs?

I know I'll need new wheels because of bolt pattern differences.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/78144.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/78144.phtml</a</li></ul>

The 205/55R16 tires are too short in height and load capacity for the Avalon, sorry. 16" snows for the new Avalon would need to be sized at 215/60R16 or even 205/65R16.

Hmm. Didn't even think of load capacity. Thanks much.
