I think the standard size tire for my stock 13" steelies is 165/70/13. The last time I got tires for these wheels, the guy accidentally ordered 175/70/13 which means they're wider right? Apparently, those are fine because I have them on my steelies now. My question is, will these same tires fit on a rim that normally uses the tire size 185/70/13? I'm thinking it will, but I want to make sure.

 

IT should not be a problem using them...Where in Upstate you from?

 

Okay thanks. I'm from utica, ny...

If anyone knows anything else about this, please tell me.

 

What the numbers mean...

175 is the section width in mm, NOT the tread width. If there's a sidewall bulge, it's measured there. 70 is the height of the sidewall measured as a percentage of the section width. 13 is the rim diameter in inches.
