My car is making grinding noises and won't move I think it's because I had my tire changed and the tire was too big for my car. It was a 205 while the other tires were 175. I meant to get it changed but it was too late. I think it messed up the transmission.

Are the rims the same as the old ones? or did you just change the tires? The transmission should be okay unless you forced it to drive as it was grinding. I would raise the car first the front and then the rear to see if the tires will roll. Here is a guide to help you
