Default Tire Fit Question

For my daughters 96 Accord LX, It has been a good car, now ready for some tires. It calls for 185 x 15,
I have near new set of Michilin P215/65 R15 sitting in my shed.
Will they fit?

i dont believe they will fit. they will fit the diameter of the rim, but i believe they are too wide

There's a number missing - the aspect ratio.
I think it calls for 185/65 R15

Your 215/65 R15 tires will be 30mm (more than an inch) wider, and 39mm larger in overall diameter. You might be able to mount them on the rims, but they will probably rub against something in the wheel wells.

you may want to start your own thread for this but...you should test fit the wheel/tire on the front and the back for clearance. Also, if you go with a 245/35r-20 you should be good to go for overall fitment/clearance.
