Tire size

Hello I have a quick question. I have a 2009 base honda fit Tire size 175/65 R15,

can I put 175/65 R14's on for winter...I have a great deal if it'll work. Sorry if this has been answered already, couldn't find anything and I have about an hour to make a decision.

Thanks

Ann

Please forgive me if you already know this, but those won't fit on your wheels. If you choose to buy wheels for them, they are 1" less diameter which would make your speedo read higher then you are going and have the car 1/2" lower to the ground.

Sorry guess I should have said that the rims were included so I wouldnt be switching...doesn't seem like a good idea anyways.

Thanks for your help

Yeah, probably not the best idea to have your car lower to the ground during winter unless you want to use the bumper as a plow
