185 is the width of the tire in millimeters.
60 is the ratio of the shoulder height to width. The smaller the number, the lower the "profile" of the tires. Offset in a dumbed down way, is yes - it sticks out more or less. (It's really how far the mounting surface is from the center of the wheel. If it's towards the rear of the wheel, it sticks out more, if it's towards the front it tucks in more, etc.) For an OEM wheel you won't really need to worry about offset. But yes, a 185/60/15 would work fine. Or a 195/55/15. Or a 205/50/15. Etc... |
