Wheel Size ?
One quick question my tires now are Falken Ziex ZE-512 - 185/65HR15 Brand new... the recomended tire for these new rims I plan on buying are 195/60HR15 . The rims are 15x7. Does this mean I would have too buy a whole new set of tires or will i be able to just swap em out for the set I have now?

RE: Wheel Size ?
^^ no. there's more to it than that
185 is really NOT wide enough for a 7" wheel. the recommended rim width for 185's is 5-6.5". you'd be stretching them to put them on the 7" wide wheels. I'd go with 195's or 205's, depending on the offset of the wheels and whether or not you plan to lower your car

....anyways, yes 195-205 is the right size to go with, if u drop 1.5" u'll still be fine with 195 or 205.
