Can I use a wheel size of 185/60 R14 on my car?
I am thinking of changing my steel wheels for alloys and have found some at a good price. My current wheel size is 185/65 R14, but the ones I have found are 185/60 R14, will these be OK to use?

Okay to use but each revolution of the wheels will take you a slightly shorter distance so the speedometer will over-read slightly more than it does already.
