new tires on stock rims? how?

so wait a sec, i know that the stock wheels are 185/65/15 (on an EX), but you can actually put wider tires (195/60/15, or 205/60/15?) on the stock wheels? won't the tires be wider than the wheels?.... Thanks!

I've got a set of Yokohama Advans on my stock rims that are 205/50/15 I beleive. They are a wee bit wider than the rims, but honestly it doesn't look bad at all. The extra width helps keep your rims away from curbs and such as well.

If I remember, I will take a few pix and poast them so you can see how it looks.

- update: I took some pictures and will poast them this evening when I get home

so they fit fine? I mean, you havn't had any problems with them or anything? I'm just worried that they won't fit right or something.... what other sizes will work? I have a stock EX right now, I'm thinking about a RSX-S sway bar, a strut bar, i'm not really sure. for SURE i won't be getting shocks, springs, struts, anything like that. Any tire suggestions? I want something fairly quiet, but good performance is the main concern. Also, I need all year round tires.

THANKS!

Yeah, they fit fine. That's stock in those pictures minus the tires obviously. The rims are stock black with plastic covers. I wouldnt go much wider than that though.

I've got the "Si" rims (7-spoke, they look just like your hubcaps) on my coupe, do you think that will make a difference?
