My car has 155/80 R13 tires already on it . I just picked up 4 new 175/70 R13 tires . Will the new tires fit the rims on the car ?

Yes.
P175/70R13 82S is a common +0 replacement for P155/80R13 79S. Overall diameter is nearly the same but the 175 is far more common offering more choices in replacement sizes and provides a wider contact patch on the road. I did this very same upgrade myself on a Honda Civic I used to have and also on a old MG Midget.

"robby b" you got is soo soo wrong.
the 1st number is width, 2nd part is aspect ratio of the side wall (well explained by "sione"), the 3rd number is the inside diameter.
do you know how wide the original rims are? 6 inches maybe? If the diameter is the same (13), then your next worry is the width of the tire (155 to 175). The tires might end up bulging out more because of the extra width or it might not.. depends on the width of the rims.
So after that, you gotta see how much space you got between the whole wheel and the fenders when installed. No one can tell you if they fit unless you fit them on especially if your car is lowered, then you might have to worry about the tires rubbing on the fenders, but I doubt that would be the case.

Yes, they'll fit. You must have 13" rims. (The R13 part). The other parts are 155 is 15.5 width, I believe and the 80 is 80% of that width in tire sidewall height.
Ok, I must have had that backwards, I guess. I remember that the 80 part is 80% of the first number...

R13 is a 13 inch rim so they should fit but take them to a tire specialist to be sure.

Yes. The new tires are only 20mm wider than your old tires and they are both for 13 inch rims.

yes, they will be taller and wider though. the higher the first number is the taller the tire. the lower the second number is the wider. and the last in the inch of the tire for the wheel
