can i still use 185/60/15 tire to 15x7.0 rim ?

or should i stick for 15x5.5 ?
or should i buy a set of tires again that will perfectly fit ?
or should 185/60/15 be fine for
15x5.0 to
15x 6.0
15x6.5
15x7.0

since im going to buy is still 15inches rim im just wondering coz 185mm = 7.28 inches (width) so i think it will be fine ?

cos someone told me that if i do buy new rim then new set of tires ?

im sorry i am new :( but thanks for who are going to answer my question .

I run 205/50 on my 16x6.5 45mm offset

The front ones do scrub when turning all the way though.

whats the advantage of having a 15x7.0 than having 15x5.0 or 15x5.5 or 15x6.0 , 15x6.5 ?

or they gonna bulge out if tire size is not appropriate ?

the 15x7 wheel would fill the tire out more, and it would look more natural than if it was on the smaller one.

You can safely use the 185/60/15 on a 7" wide rim - I would do this over buying new tires and just buy the tires when you need them later.

thats what it looks like on 15x7 +30offset

went with 205/50r15 after the tires were finished

The car wasnt lowered at that time either!

that is with a +35offset with lowered suspension and 205/50r15

off topic a bit ..but I have never seen a Yaris RS???..help me out..

195 50 15 on a 15x7 rim is great for a car like the Yaris..too wide and you loose power..too much rolling mass (from what iv'e heard)
