You need at least a 225.

-- These are on the front. I have 215/60-15", and would like them to be narrower, without buying wheels. Have 245/60-15" on the rear.

Tire Width for a Wheel/Rim Size Chart
Not recommended. Probable be tough to even get it sealed

And having seen similar done before, no, it does not look okay, even if you do get it get it to seat.

Seating it may be tough, but tire wear and possibly under extreme conditions (sharp turns) it may pop off of the bead.

Regardless of my smart *** comment, what are you trying to accomplish? Do you just want the look of a skinny tire or do you have a fitment issue? Sound like you have a 15x8 rims for the front. What car are we working on? A bodies all vary in wheel/tire fitment between models.

Why ??? What are you planning on putting them on and why an 8" rim ? Probably too much negative offset to fit in fenderwell of most cars. Load range is equivalent to a small 14" tire. 6 " is proper rim size for proper ride and handling, tire wear.

Probably changing the look up, while saving money (like the rest of us) for new rims

-- Want to change the looks, on this car. It has 15 X8" rims, with 215/60-15" tires, on the front, and 245/60-15" on the rear, 15 X 8" rims, also, --
Perhaps you can trade for someone with narrower rims?

Ooohhh, I love Falcons! Thunderbolt hood looks sweet. 289 car? Weld rims? I like the way it looks in the picture, but that doesn't look like a 215 on a 8" wide rim. I have a 215 on my 7" wide front wheels and they are just a bit wider than the rim. To go skinny you need to go narrower wheel.

-- Yep ! -- It's a 215 on a 8", weld, rim. The 215 has too much tread width, for Me. -- See My garage, on this site, for details on the car.
