Does any one know if you can put bigger tires on the stock alloy wheels? like 185/60's

Stock on the alloys is 185/65, so 185/60 would be smaller. Unless you meant 195/60's, it should be ok, I wouldn't do any bigger than 195 on a 5.5 inch wide wheel.

Your speedo may be off a little after that though, not much (like 1 mph).

Uhm, what he said.

For reference I like this one better, more detail.
