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

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
