215/55-16 Winter Sport-M3's on a TT = Ok size?
I've just received winter tires from TireRack for my '01 180TTQC. The summer tires are 225/45-17s. The new Dunlop M3's are on 16" steelies, but in a 215/55 size rather than the more common 205/55 size (TireRack was out of the 205's).
Although only 10mm wider, they look larger than the summer tires, and doing the math indicates they are 1.3% larger in height and diameter.
Is this difference something that should concern me? I'm about to put them on this afternoon...
