Tyre Size Query

Hi

Was hoping someone in the trade might be able to confirm.......

The OH car, Honda Jazz 1.4 DSi SE (2005) needs new tyres.

Current tyres are 185x55x15 but looking up the reg on the different sites they all offer 175x65x14.

I'm certain that the car has stock SE wheels so, my question..... Would it be OK to fit the 175x65x14?

Thanks

    If the wheels are 15" it will be impossible to fit 14" tyres.
    The third figure is the diameter in inches of the rim.
    This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !

    Tyre websites are often hopeless and giving you the size... pinch of salt!

    Either fit as you have now, or check on the inside of the door near the hinge, as there is often a sticker confirming the original tyres fitted when manufactured.
