What tires will fit on these wheels, tire size question Options

[brandomc]

Hi, i have read some other posts saying that i can replace my 165 15 tires with 195 65 r15's. I was wondering if anyone has the same wheels as me with the 195 tire size. Mine already seem close to the wheel arch lip in the rear. But there is still enough clearance to fit my fingers between. I attatched a pic of my car. Which wheels are these? Should the 195's fit and not rub. Thanks

Measure gaps on your car to see if you can fit 15mm on both sides of the tire. Pretty simple, 165=165mm width, 195=195mm width. The 60 or 70 is the aspect ratio in percentage of tire width 60 =60% of width, so, a 195 tire on a 15" rim with a 60 series will be 117mm per side. So 117+117+381mm (15")=615mm total height, or 24.21" high.

Im estimating that is about 15mm or so gap. I really dont want to buy tires and then have them not fit.

Measure with something that has quantifiable digits, look at the possibility of rolling your fenders, and you can probably get them to fit. ( a tight fit)
