np man. if u want to make sure of no rubbing, but like the 195 series stance, then go with the 195/60/r14s. its what i have and no problems. from what i have learned. every +10 on the first number (185, 195...) go down 5 on the second. like the OEM is 185/65. with the 195's go with 195/60's. and you should be fine.

I actually have Fuzion HRi 195/60's and i like them a lot.

The 70 tire would be too wide.

the first 3 numbers are your section width in MM's. The second set of numbers is the aspect ratio. For example:

P225/ 50 R16 91S

The 50 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 50% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall. We know that this tire size's section width is 225mm and that its section height is 50% of 225mm. By converting the 225mm to inches (225 / 25.4 = 8.86") and multiplying it by 50% (.50) we confirm that this tire size results in a tire section height of 4.43". If this tire were a P225/70R16 size, our calculation would confirm that the size would result in a section height of 6.20", approximately a 1.8-inch taller sidewall.

This from the Tirerack.com

Does this solve the confusion?

Shouldn't rub. I know a couple of people running that size and have no problems.
