For my 2003 Acura 1.7 EL the stock tires are: P185/65R 15 86H
I need new tires but don't want to change the rims. I don't know what the mag wheel sizes are. Question is what is the widest tire that can be put on the stock mag? Also what is the lowest profile.
Thanks

you wont be able to get a lower profile without either screwing up your speedo and Odometer.. or getting it recalibrated for the lower profile. To get a lower profile you would need to get a bigger rim, then a lower profile so the overall circumferance stays the same. As for a wider tire, if factory is 185.. i wouldnt go much more than a 195..
Without getting too technical heres a quick and general breakdown of how your tire sizes are read:
185 = Width
60 = Profile
R15 = Rim size (in inches)
