would a 215-50-15 fit on my 205-60-15? I know what the #'s mean, but would a 215 fit a 205 rim? Or should i just stick with 205's?

Play around here for a while:

If you don't know what you are doing, stick with the stock size.

No, you don't get it. The sidewall number is a is a %. Seriously, spend time time at that site.

yes a 215-50-15 will fit without rubbing, i am running 225-50-15 on stock rim with no rubbing whatsoever, although i would just like to let you know that a 215-50-15 will give you alot more wheel gap then stock, for me the gap isnt too bad, but definately looking at getting lowered to eliminate the gap.
hope this helps

That is the size I ran for three years with the BAT kit and it never rubbed.
