Will these tires -->P195/60R14<-- fit on my rims/ under wheelwells properly?
(OEM tires are 185/70/14)
I can get used ones for a good price, but obviously can't return if they
don't fit
95 accord...

I know there's more to it than just fitting under the wheel wells, such as
the bolt pattern, etc.

But the wheel as a whole will be slightly smaller. Your speedometer will
read 4.1% too fast, so when your speedometer reads 60/mph you're actually
traveling at 57.6/mph.

That's what I run on my '92 Accord. There is a 1% decrease in recorded
miles on the odo as compared to mile markers over a hundred mile
interstate highway test. bob

They'll be a little small. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html.
Size 215/60R14 will give you the same sidewall height and circumference.
These tires would be roughly 1.2" wider than the stock tire and may or may
not look noticeably wide on the stock rim. To see if they'll fit in your
wheel wells, turn the wheels to their maximum left and right positions and
see if you have more than 0.6" of clearance available.
