I have 185/60/14s now and with alot of low, they only rub at dips in the road. you might wanna try the same size.
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:30 pmso its fine if i go a differen path like using 185 or 205 right? because my friend who use to work at firestone told me that woulndt be safe and what not
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:38 pmNot sure why he said 185 was a bad idea,,, 185/60r14 is the oem tire size for our cars. How wide are those bbs?

Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 3:14 pmso i found some 185-60-14 would that be better look and would they fit??? i really know nothing bout tires

Yeah they will fit but there might be a very slight stretch on a 6.5" wheel. 185/60R14 is what came on our civics with 14" steelies and those were only 14x5.5
It all depends on what you want to go for. What size are on the wheels now?
Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 2:34 am195-60-14 and they seem to thick for my liking and dont allow me to go lower
Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 2:38 am185 is 10mm thinner than a 195 tire. 60 is the sidewall height, so that would be pretty much the same tire, just a little skinnier.
