or

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

The 1st has a good visual, but I find the second better because it recommends rim width for the selected tire size.

185/70/13

185 is the mm in how wide the tires are from sidewall to sidewall.
70 is the height of the tire from the bead to the top of the tread. It is the percentage of tire width, as in 70% of 185 mm. the smaller this number, the wider the tire is in relation to its height.
13... well that the diameter of the rim.

Why stay with such a narrow tire on a rim that's 1" wider?

Try 205/50R15

Much nicer

iam confused about tires thats why lol. i was trying to figure out what tire would have the same overall size so my speed o wouldnt be to off ect. i live in mass do you think with a 15 rim i would still have enough side wall that i wouldnt have to worry.

That should be good for what you need. Just make sure you have the right offset.

EDIT: 205/50/15. Tires are a little bit under inflated/car is dirty

That's the problem...their offset choices are terrible. +20 or +0....we need like a +10 for killer lip and no stickoutage.
