Based on michelin website recommended rim width for 185/65R14 tyres are the following: Min = 5.0", Optimum= 5.5", and Max = 6.5". So to be safe check mo muna yung Rim Width nya.

di ko to gets sir..pano ba imeasure yung width??and anong measurement gagamitn??inches or wat??

Most 14" rims are at least 5" wide. It shouldn't be a problem.

The measurement is in inches of the surface where the bead sits, if you measure from outer lip to inner lip, it won't be exact, but it should give you a good estimate.

so basically di ko kelangan mamroblema??kahit 185 gamitin ko na gulong??

Yup. Tire size only becomes a problem if you're upgrading to 205 or larger. At 205 you'll need at least a 6.5 - 7 inch wide rim. Up to 185, any standard 14x5 rim is just fine.
