Default Trying to find new tires for 1999 ex v6 accord

Well i really want to get the s03's thats what i got on my type-r in a 205 55 15. stock is 195 55 15 but they did not make that tire in that size. Well same problem on the accord. stock is 205 60 16 s03's come in 205 55 16 and 215 55 16. same as the piolt sports.

what size will fit on the stock rims of them 2. caus i am not sure if the 55 for 60 makes a difference it fit as i know you can up size the first number.

thanks

either size will fit on your rims. out of the 2 choices, 215/55/16 is the closest in diameter to your stock-sized tires. choosing the 215/55's over the 205/55's will also reduce the amount that your speedo will be thrown off

my advice is two go with the 215/55/16 tires, it pretty much the same tires, the only differences is the the 215 sets are just a quarter inch wider and a quarter inch thinner. and your speedometer might be reduced or off by a tiny bit but not really? but i set of the stocks for sale if you want them, 70% tread left, le me know?
