There is a never ending stream of discussion on the use of 205-55-16 tires on 9k. As I understand, 9kT came with 205-50-16. 9kS came with 195-65-15, and a 205-60-15 works fine (at least on my '92 9kS). The HEIGHT of 196-65-15, 205-60-15 and 205-55-16 are all very close(the 205-55-16 is actually .1" shorter than the 195-65-15). It seems to me that if you where switching to 16 rims on a 9kS, you should go to a 205-55 and NOT a 205-50, which is 1" shorter. A 9kT might be different, if it was designed for 205-50-16 (lower suspension?), but a 205-50-16 on a 9kS would seem to be too short. Am I missing something? The WIDTH seems the same - 205 is 205. You seem sure a 205-55-16 will rub, but is that true only for 9kTs?
