How far off am i allowed to be with tire width?

Im actually looking to buy some winter tires. I have P215/65R 17%26quot; tires on it now. And i wanted to know would i be able to get a 205 or a 225? Is there any leniency as to how far off i can be from what the tires are supposed to be.How far off am i allowed to be with tire width?yea that's only 1 size either way u will b fine.....and if u wanted to go more u would just need to alter the aspect number to compensate..... so like a 195/75r17........or a 235/55r17......most modern vehicles will automatically compensate for an up to 3 prct difference in tires size....



but remember any time u change tire size u can and do in most cases affect the way the vehicle handles.....good luck
