Civic tire size selection help... stock rims!

Hey guys, I just searched, and didn't get anything

, but everywhere i've found information seems to be relate to aftermarket wheels... which I don't have :P

I need yet ANOTHER set of tires for my car, I think this is the fifth or sixth in 50k (besides the point)... And I was wondering, stock size is 185/60/r14-- Has anyone successfully mated a wider tire to their stock rims... and how much wider did you / can you go?

Thanks!

thanks bro for trying, but that doesn't help me figure out what will physically fit on the wheels / in the wheelwells. Nobodys running a non-standard tire size on stock 14" rims?

really now.. you must not know alot about tire sizing then.

i'll just do the work for you...

Tire Size Comparison

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
185/60-14 4.4in 11.4in 22.7in 71.4in 887 0.0%
195/55-14 4.2in 11.2in 22.4in 70.5in 899 -1.3%

how's that?
