Question about 02 Civic SI rims for 02 Civic EX?

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]I just bought a set of 02 Civic SI rims(15X6") for my 02 Civic EX. I want to buy a set of BridgeStone Potenza RE950 for these rims, but I don't know what size should I get

? The stock tires for 02 Civic SI is 195/60/15, but stock tires for 02 Civic EX is 185/65/15. Since I don't want to affect the speedometer and ABS, I prefer to the original size of 185/65/15. Is it ok to use a 185/65/15 on that rims?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

By the way, what is the size of the stock wheel for 02 Civic EX? Is it 15 X5.5"?

Thanks

Actualy you could use 195/60/15 tires, they are almost the same as 185/65/15, check out the tire calc, and i think our rims are either 15x5.5 or 15x5

I would go 205/60/15. They will imporve your handleing and braking by a lot. They won't affect your spedo enough to be testable (less than 1 mph) and they won't affect abs at all.
