Thanks, but i did some calculator things.
The speed change don't matter to me.
It's the size of the differents 60 to 70.
Will it fit?

Thanks.

You'd be risking rubbing issues. You should see my car with the 205/60/14's. I have like maybe 1 inch of clear from tire to fender lip. And, while you might get away with no inner fender rubbing, you'll more than likely run into rubbing your steering linkage and whatnot when you turn.
