Mark---Mitch's suspicions are valid...The 215mm width will fit on the
5.5 rim.
However, I found that inflation pressures must be kept under 25psi.
Otherwise, the tread will bow down and cause the center of the tire to
wear out prematurely.

Hi Mark,
I'm using 65x215x15" on 7" Panasports with the VB one piece shock
conversion & have only a tiny trace of tire scuff on the bump stop
tower. I have never heard any rubbing noise even under full suspension
compression. I would imagine a stock rim would give you a bit more room.
I would also consider the possibility that the tire may be to wide for a
stock 5.5" steel rim.
