What sort of concern should I have changing from 185/65R15 to 195/65R15?

I've checked the clearance of stock tire, it seems ok though.

Any ideas?

height clearance won't be an issues cine the profile/rim diameter is the same.

only concerns would be:
- rim potentially not wide enough to support the additional width (then again there are some really radical fittings so this shouldn't be a concern either)

- tire hit fender issue on the inside, which means need spacers
get it in pairs, prolly just a thin one since just 185 to 195

if you fit the tire and the clearance is still ok, then no need spacer (save your money and better wheel rigidity since no additional element)

There are some of club members fitted with 195/60R15. No issue at all.

The problem now is getting 195/60 tires, aiming for comfort and better grip.

I asked on Conti CPC2, that's what the guy suggested 195/65.

Wanted to try other tires, but it seems Puchong not many choices except those cheaper ones.
