Aside from the speedometer and odometer error (about -10%), and buying some 14" rims, can I put 185/75/14s on my civic? It has the standard 175/70/13s. The 14s are snows from a different car that were expensive and still in new condition.

Thanks!

yep, you can run em. they are going to fill up the wheel well though. hope you aren't lowered
my snows are 70's series...I like them.

Thanks for your reply. Nothing modded on my car. The wheel wells look empty, so as long as they'll clear then that's great.

195/75R14 will severely limit your tire options. Use the calculator I linked, do some playing, and find something that'll fit and give you plenty of good options. As long as you stick with a stock offset, you can safely go as high as 195 (and possibly 205, if you can find a tire in the correct size) without worrying about scrubbing.

If you want to fill out the wheel well, putting obscenely large tires on your car isn't the right way to do it.

Thanks to you too. The tires are only 185, and not a mod choice, just an expensive set of snow tires from a GM car I got rid of. This is strictly about utility and frugality.

My car is teal with a gold pinstripe so I am definitely not going to sweat about esthetics.

Cheers.
