EX/Si wheel question

for the wheels that come on the EX/Si, the 15" rim, does it matter what size tire i put on them? i know the size is supposed to be like 195/60/15 but does it matter? could i put 185/65/15 instead? found a good deal on the wheels and i want to put on my winter tires on them which are 185/65/15.

ojay is on a distinguished road
stock tires on them are 185/65/15 so you'll be fine with that size

195/60/15 is what came on the 2000 Si. Like ojay said, the 185/65/15 are what comes stock on the 03 ex.

not at all. thats the size honda uses so im sure itd be fine. but id highly recommend going with 195/60/15 over 185/65/15 because its thick enough, wider for better traction, and many other issues.


heres 195/60/15's. definately looks better than 185/65 and performs better as well

well the reason i ask if 185/65/15 will be fine is because thats what i have for winter tires and dont feel like buying another set.
