Default 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 which to get????

What are better to get? I know the 205s are wider. I dont want a very large sidewall but enought to make for a comfortable ride. Any pics with these size tires on a EK hatchback would be great. thanks.

205's tend to buldge out a bit on a 6" wide wheel, i would recommend the 205's on a rim that is 6.5" + wide

I run 195/50/15s on 15 * 6.5 wheels.
Looks good and handles good.

personally, 205/50/15 for daily driving is a waist, I've done it, and its just more contact ont he road but for daily driving its a waist....now if you do competision in your car and stuff, get the 205, but for daily driving etc 195

Me, I have 205/50/15 azenis on LS mesh rims at home for track events, and soon I'll be down grading to 195/50/15 on my slips for daily driving...

15x6.5 = 195/50/15
15x7 = 205/50/15

That would probably be good? i prefer 205 on both though.
