question about tire sizes

[christyf5]

Hi,

Currently I have 195/55/R15 tires on my car, it has honda rims. I've been looking into getting new rims (the tires are still half decent but will probably have to be replaced in a year or so).

I found a nice set of 190/60/R14 tires on nice rims on craigslist.

Are these interchangeable or am I stuck looking for 15 inch rims? I know the car comes stock with 14" rims usually but I don't know the tire size.

Thanks

Christy :)

What kinda car do you drive? I don't think they'll be a problem downgrading sizes, really depends on the brakes whether your honda has drum brakes or disc brakes. I know for sure my integra needs anything past 14x7 rims for clearance.

That calculator the above posted is also a good way to see where you're coming from.


Either 185/60/14 or 195/60/14.

195/60R14's will be fine with stock brakes...

This is of course assuming you have a 14" wheel to put them on :)
