205/70R15 winter tires on 195/65R15 RIMS

Hi All,

I just bought a used honda civic (2007). Winter is coming so I have to get winter tires, I am getting them from a guy.

The new tires are 205/70R15, and the current tires that I have on are 195/65R15.

My questions will the new winter tires fit my current rims? I could probably buy the new rims for that, but I want to use my current steel rims for winter and get alloy rims for summer driving.

Please help me, and sorry if I may have duplicated a thread.

Thanks in adv

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

The tires will fit on the wheels, but I can't tell you if they will rub or not once they are bolted on the car. They will be taller AND wider than the stock size tires.
