Can I use 16 inch tires instead of 15?
A vehicle equipped with a 16-inch rim and tire package can be changed to a 15-inch rim and tire. The rolling distance changes if the total diameter of the tire and wheel combination is changed, and that causes the speedometer to be inaccurate.

Can I change my tire aspect ratio?
That said, the only dimensions you can change are the width and aspect ratio — never the wheel size, unless you buy replacement wheels — and you should always strive to keep the total height of the tire the same as the OEM.

What is rim width and how does it affect what tire size (s) can be used? Wheel width is measured from the inside of one wheel flange to another as diagrammed below: For example, my Original Equipment BRZ wheel is 17″ in diameter and 7″ wide.
How can you tell how wide a tire should be?
If you’re not sure how wide your wheel is, flip it over and look at the back of the wheel for a marking such as “17x7JJ” or something similar with the second number being the width. Since a tire sidewall and bead can only stretch so much, each tire will have a recommended rim width range, so wheel width dictates what tire sizes you can choose.
