Need help with tire sizes for 077 wheels

[Ted]

Hey guys i'm looking to purchasing a set of 16x8 eagle 077 rims next friday. The whole reason i'm getting 16"s are so that I don't have to buy a whole new set of tires. (My wheel is bad and I can't find another one to replace it) I just want to use my existing ones because I don't have a whole lot of money to spend. The tires are Futura 2000 215/R16. Will these tires be fine for the 16s im buying. They're already mounted on a set of Fittipaldi 5 Star 16" wheels. IBJanky said he wasn't sure if they'd fit and that i might need something bigger like 245s? Does anybody know if I will or not? I'd really rather not buy new tires.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

You can see specifications on:

by clicking on your tires (there are 2 Futura 2000s). However the max. rim width is 7.0 for one and 7.5 for the other.
