Go to a tire shop and have them fix you up.

Step 1: Go to discount tire or your preferred local tire store
Step 2: Talk to the sales rep, say you want stock replacement tires
Step 3: Pay for said tires and wait for work to be performed
Step 4: Drive home and have a cool tasty beverage

I'm wondering if the wheels were swapped out for larger diameter which will limit tire wall sizing to maintain the OEM rolling diameter. In that case in addition to tires you'll need to buy some aftermarket wheels similar to the OEM size or see if someone is selling a used set you can pick up. Buying from dealer simply won't be worth the price.

Not to offend anyone, but I can't possibly make sense out of that post.

I'm gonna assume he's on aftermarket wheels with low profile tire and wants to put the regular wheels on? Logic say, just swap the wheel?

My assumption is that the car was purchased used and the previous owner has an aftermarket set of wheels on it.

Most affordable way to go is to get steel wheels that match the original factory size and either paint the steel rims or cheap hubcaps.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came with steelies and hub caps from the dealer which is why the prior owner swapped them out.
