Can I Switch Tire Sizes?

I have an '82 with P255/60 R15 tires all around and an '81 that has P225/70 R15 tires all around. I want to switch the tires only between the two cars. Both cars have factory aluminum wheels.

Are all '81 and '82(non CE) aluminum wheels the same size?
Will the P255/60 R15 tires fit on the '82(non CE) wheels?
Will the P255/60 R15 tires create clearance issues on the '81?

Thanks

The only problem you might have is that your speedometer might be off a bit if you change tire size. It depends on what size tire the car was originally ordered with. The rims are the same size. There will not be any clearance issues.

There is no problem with switching wheels and tires.
