Will it fit?

Whats up guys,

I'm considering getting winter rubber P195/65R15. Will it fit to OEM rims?
I'm pretty sure it will but doesn't hurt to check, right?

calm down there bud.. the WHEEL dia is the same. that's the important part. the outer tire dia will be smaller, but that's not much of an issue as long as you're aware of it.

Wheel/tire/rim/tread/thread, what's the diff eh?


PS: Sure, it will work, and maybe even save you a speeding ticket someday. The spedometer will read slightly faster than what you actually are travelling at.

Yeah, I got pulled over (luckily no ticket) when I was not paying attention. I had 32" tires on my truck that was designed for 235/75/15s. Duh. not too bright on my part.
