Thinking of changing from 215/50/HR15 to a 205/55/HR16 tires/wheels on this
95' Passat GLX VR6 wagon (5-speed Manual). The car has 50K miles and is used
only for long distance trips at speeds between 70-85 MPH. I know that the
new diameter is about 6% larger than stock, and the speedometer reading
would be less than true; this will help at high speeds. My questions, to
those with experience, are how much it affects acceleration from stop and if
there is an interference with the wheel well.
