size tire

will a 175/60/15 fit under fender on a 2016 rt

That depends somewhat upon the brand of tire, its tread pattern, & the manufacturers size conventions, as the nominal size of a tire can vary a fair bit from its actual physical dimensions, but it should do. I'm running that size in a Kumho KH17 tire under the same fender on my 2013 RT Ltd. :thumbup:

It'll fit under the REAR fender: no problems! :thumbup:
But the fronts? :dontknow:

 

[Peter Aawen]

There's quite a few people running 175/60R15's up front without any issues (& 225/60R15's on the rear) here in Aus, Bob, me included; you've just gotta make sure you choose a 'known to fit' brand & tread pattern tire tho, or check the actual rolling dia/width very carefully - cos some tires with the same nominal size stamped on the sidewall can have a rolling diameter or tread width that's anything up to 25mm/1" different to the nominal or stated dimension! :sour:

The 'nominal size' printed on the sidewall can vary that much because of the different measuring/sizing conventions used by different manufacturers &/or even by the same manufacturer for different tread patterns/types of tires! It shouldn't happen, but it does! :lecturef_smilie:
