Tire Size Question

i have the '04 OEM rims. the origional size tires they take is 195/60/15. i just ordered some new tires for my car in 205/60/15 because i wanted a little wider tire. my question is, (just to confirm) will these new tires fit on the new rims? i ordered from tirerack.com and they arrived today so i dont wanna have to find out the hard way and ship back. I'm asking because i just compared these to the tires that i have on my car right now (side by side) which are the stock steelies 185/65/15 and the new tires seemed taller than the ones i have on my car. could it just be that theres more tread? thanks to anyone who answers this

205-60-15 fit fine on stock 03 EX alloys on a stock 03 EX coupe. The stock size was 185-65-15.

thanks
what about the new tires being taller than the stock tires on the car now? or will it be different once i get the rims and tires put on?

Check to see the differences using the tire calculator. The numbers are not exactly the same, but close. A 195-60-15 was slightly smaller, the 205-60-15 was slightly larger. I thought I might as well put the wider tire on, and thought the extra width would be extra wheel lip protection from the g/f rubbing curbs occationally
