Can someone tell me if I can fit 195/65-14 rated tires in place of my current 185/70-14 tires without getting new rims. The specs on TireRack list the 195 as being a half inch bigger in diameter, therefore is it still doable?

This belongs in the Wheel & Tire forum,
You can look for it there.

It's all about balance.

Hi,

The total dia for the 185/70 is 5mm more than the 195. So it is hardly no difference between the sizes. smile
