Will 205/55/15 tires fit on Yaris?

Taking the stock 185/60/15 as reference.

205/55/16 would be too big, there is an increase of ~4.55%(speedometer shows 100km/h, actual speed is ~95km/h). Anything more than 3% is not recommended, fuel economy also will suffer.

The closest that you can get to the stock are -

195/55/15 (1.27% increase in diameter)
205/50/16 (1.3% increase in diameter)
205/45/17 (2.2% increase in diameter)
215/40/17 (0.13% increase in diameter)

For the more adventurous,

215/35/18 (0.76% increase)
225/35/18 (1.9% increase)

Of course, selecting the tyre size also affects the range of choices and price as well. Some performance semi-slick/slick do not have the above size. Safest bet is to stick to the more common size.

Thanks for your answer, much appreciated. However, I asked about 205/55/15 not 16inch. I have already put that size on my car and it drives ok but a little hard and I think 195/55/15 would be best for a Yaris.
