yes 185's will fit on a 6.5 " wheel

vbtuner how wide are your wheels? 185's on a 7" wheel might be VIP

185mm divided by 25.4mm/inch equals 7.28 inches wide. That will fit fine on a 6.5" wheel.

best thing is to go to your tire manufacturer's website and look at the recommended "rim width range" for the size of tire your looking at... tirerack also publishes this info for all the tires they sell...
