I have a 93 EX(-R) with stock tires of 195/60/15. Can that rim accept a 205/55/15?

 

why not? the rim is the same size and your using a smaller tire (55 as opposed to the 60.) it'll actually fit with more clearance than the stock ones.

 

i went from 195 to 205 on my 15s

 

yea they'll fit, but they will be smaller than stock. Tires will probably bulge out a little, and you might scrape more if your car is lowered (since the smaller tires effectively lower your car a tiny bit).

 

Well, you didn't say what size the wheel is, but given the closeness in size, I doubt if there will be any problems. As to the discusions above regarding the diameter of the 205-55-15 being smaller, well it is, but not by much. 195-60-15 = 24.21", 205-55-15 = 23.88".

 

the rim in question is the stock 93 ex(-r) rim.

thanks guys

 

i'm running 205/60/15 on my 94 accord ex coupe and it's fine, fitwise. no rubbing or no nothing of any kind. i'm thinking i'll go back to 195 next time tho. unless you can find a tire with a REALLY stiff sidewall, don't bother going so wide. it'll just roll over all the time. i end up driving on my sidewalls more than my tread, even when 4 psi over the reccomended max.

 

Actually i think i'm just gonna stick with the 195/60/15's cause the cops are trying to pull some quick bullshit laws around here. Anything out of factory spec is questioned.

 

Well I am running 205/55-15's no problems if you decide to go with them.
