Will 175/65-15 tires work on a 6.5 inch rim

Thanks to everybody for their reply.
After looking through the photo gallery of cars with custom wheels I like the Rota RB wheels. But they are 7 inches wide so my tires would not work.

That will work fine it would be a nice moderate stretch

Get the wheels you want first, and then sell your stock wheels.

I sold my stock steelies on Craigslist in one day for $400 cash...



They went fast because they were in beautiful condition just like yours are. I bought Rota RB's because they're the only ones which have that old time 1960's rounded spoke "mag wheel" look.

tooter, I'm getting the same wheels you have. Same size 15x7 and offset +35 with 185/60/15 tires. The dealer is buying my 175/65/15 tires which only have 723 miles on them. You mentioned in another thread that you had to add 5mm spacers on the front to clear the brake calipers. Did the wheel or the spokes rub the caliper or was it just to close for comfort. I do not want to use a spacer if I don't have to. Do you know what the size of the hub bore is? I've seem them listed on the Racinglab.com site with 67.1mm and 57.1mm bores.
