I understand the point of your thread. There is a good deal on the wrong size tire. You were hoping you could get away with running them.

They are just too tall.

Try craigslist or something, sometimes you get lucky with a mildly used set of tires in your size, for dirt cheap. Use a tire size tool to calculate all the sizes and minor changes you may be able to run, and then search for those sizes for used sets. You could get lucky.
