To learn what tires were originally installed on your vehicle, please refer to the sticker located somewhere in your car. The sticker will report what tires are approved for use by your particular VIN's build date. The same information may also be included in your user's manual.
In the size of the tire, the first number is the nominal width (in millimeters), the second is the aspect ratio, and the third is the wheel diameter (in inches).
You shouldn't install tires of any other size than the ones originally fitted, otherwise, your car can get damaged and the car may not behave on the road as it should.
If you want to change the tire size, you'll need to get the new wheels for your car. Otherwise, you'll have problems with traction control and safety on the road.
