As to the 175 and 185 etc, so long as the wheel is the correct diameter, the width is not going to be an issue. With the 185 you will get a SLIGHTLY bulgier sidewall, a little more comfort, and a little less performance in the turns. Probably not enough to notice - especially since they are going to be snows which feel like mush compared to regular tires anyhow.

Each tire will have a sticker which will indicate the widest and smallest rim width it can be safely mounted on.
