I have a 95 Honda Accord LX which came with stock 185/70/14. The EX models came with 195/60/15 and V6 with 205/60/15.

The question is: can I install 205/60/15 with 98-02 Accord 15" rims on my 95 Accord without compromizing the speedometer accuracy? Meaning is the 205/60/15 will be the same height as my stock 185/70/14? Im just trying to go a bit wider on the tire and up on the rim for my future brake upgrade.

And I dont want to go with 16" 17" or 22" with spinners as some people might suggest in the reply, lmao. Im trying to keep a stock look.

 

The 205s would be a bit bigger and throw th speedometer off.

the 195/60/15 and the 185/70/14 are pretty much the same
I just made that switch today

 

So 205/55/15 would work then?

 

Sure.

 

Now can anyone expain how in the fk 205/60/15 are different in height compared to 195/60/15. I understand the 205mm V.S. 195mm but if they both are 60mm height sitting on the 15" rim. How can 205 influence the height?

 

It's 60% (of the width) height, not 60mm.

 

search on google for "miata tire calculator" and u can see the difference in tires and dimensions. it will even tell you how much your speedo will be off.

for example:
normally on accords 94-97 with 17" wheels they suggest you run 215/40/17 or 215/45/17. i actually run 235/40/17!! i am a wheel and tire salesman btw. the only way i got this info was thru using the tire calculator.
g/l

 

The tire size is 195/60 R15
