I could have put this post in with the tires and wheel section but I want it more specific to the civic. I went to the site, Discount tires direct, and I chose wheels. Then I picked tire options and it provided me with these two: 195/55-15 and 205/50-15. These are for 15" wheels but it sounds like one would be off in proportion to the overall diameter. I'm not sure how they work and I cant find the info on the site, so can someone please explain what these #'s mean. Also the wheel is 15 by 6.5, is this correct? I thought it should be 15 by 7. Thank you.

Enter stock size and new size and it'll tell you how much your speedo will be off

Yeah, the 55's off, why did the site give me that tire option? So what's the ideal tire size I should get?

Oh, is there any site that rates tires or gives specs on them?
