Thanks for the reply. I beleive the original 165's were 80 series. All the tire calculators reveal the following,

165/80 have 25.4" dia tire that was on the car
185/70 have 25.2" dia
185/65 have 24.5" dia tire now on the car which is 0.9" less than original
195/65 have 25.0" dia

I went with 185/65's because 185/70's are not available for a decent price. I wanted a wider tire than 165/80 but was reluctant to go too wide as with the 195/65's because of the mentioned A/C lines. Plus 185/65's are plentiful and less expensive. The 185/65's are on the car (yesterday) and look fine. I will post a picture shortly.

Thanks,
