So I've got this brand new set of 215/70-16 snow tires left over from something, cant remember, and I've also got this set of E0's 16s. Wondering if it'd be possible to make these fit the contour.

Im guessing not, since this would add about 3 inches to the diameter of the tire.
 
They will likely hit the strut (I know for certain they will contact a pre98 style strut, the kind that has the lip around the perch), and they will rub the inner fender wells in the rear constantly, plus they may rub when maxed out in the front. If they're brand new I'd sell them and invest in a proper set of tires.
 
Hell no that won't fit. It will hit the strut and the rear tires will hit the back side of the sideskirt and rip it off.
