[gonefishing]

this may be a dumb questions but i need new tires for my 2002 civic si. the orig size is 185/65/15. could i use a 195 or a 205 on my car?

195 or 205/60/15 is definitely possible, but anything wider than that may rub against wheel well on turns.

Try this calculator:

But remember, Civic has a puny 127HP engine stock. Wider tire may improve cornering but slow down your ride + less fuel economy.

195/60R15 is the alternative 15 inch tire size that was avilable on Civic's, so I would go that route...
