    TR2/3/3A Tyres to suit Dayton wheels

    I have ordered 72 Spoke 5" Dayton wheels Now I'm working on the tyre size and I was thinking about 195/60/15 (As there are a lot more choices in that size), but Google is telling me that the widest I should go on a 5" is 185 - therefor 185/65/15 Does anyone have any advise here?
