Can I interchange 225/50 17 with 215/60 17 without damaging?

Hi,

I would not recommend it. If you go to the following site and put in the sizes, you will see there is a big difference in sidewall size. I have a feeling it would rub.

Also, this would change the speedometer. It would be off.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care and God bless,

Joe
