Just A quick question for you guys. Will a 195/60/15 tire safely fit on an rim made for a 185/60/15 tire. I got a friend whos got a 95 Escort gt thats needs tires badly and used 195's are way more common than 185's

Thanks

195 and 185 will fit the same wheel. His speedo and odo will be off because he is using a taller tire, but it will work fine. To correct this, simply use a 195/55 instead of a 60 profile, and the height will be the same (about .001% off)
