Can you put 195 60 15 tires on 185 60 15 rims?

When you look at tires, the manufacturer will list the rim widths that are compatible with a particular sized tire (5.5", 6", 6.5", etc.)

Just multiply by 2.54...

Actually, pulling up an example on TireRack.com, I see that a 195/60 R15 will work on a 5.5" to 7" rim, so the simple answer to your question is: Yes a 195 is fine on a 185 spec rim.

You will increase the tire height by 12mm with a 195/60 vs a 185/60.

Thanks Scott, kimona and everyone else. The guy at Goodyear said I can put 195 on the 185 rim. But recommended against it. He did state why and it did make sense at the time. It was a Yaris related thing and that is why he recommended to put the OEM size back on.

I think I've got myself a decent deal. $80 a tire including fitting and balancing. Then the front end alignment is gonna be $55. Tires are not a brand name but look like these MICHELIN XM1+
