yes they will, but don't do it, stock tires are no good and it will not inprove the looks

You sure the stock tires are 185? They look a lot skinnier than that to me.

They will fit. The tires from the factory are 185 and the wheels are 5.5" wide so can be stretched that extra half inch with out a problem.

As for looks, tires aren't so much about looks, there more about function. And sticking with the OEM tires isnt too bad if they have lots of life left in them and you're not going to be doing much racing or aggressive driving. Stretching the tire to these wheels may give it just a little more of a firmer side wall, which may improve the ride a bit/ handling, though Im not sure if it would be much improvement with half an inch.

A firmer sidewall will not improve the ride unless you are talking about steering response. As far as comfort goes, it will get worse.

I actually am running 195's on my 04.

The tires I have are from the factory they have only 3000 miles on them I believe they are Kumhos as for racing or aggresive driving I really do neither I just drive back and forth to work so I should be ok

besure to install the pressure monitors before the new wheels are mated to the tires. They mount on the inside of the stems. Hey, at $58 each why not go for it.
