Default Tire size

So I have a set of wheels that I just bought and I can't figure out what size to put on them. I want to go with a perfect size where the tire will not bulge out and look ugly.

THey are 15x6.5 Advan RGs. I was thinkg a 195/45/15. I think 195/50/15 will be too much of a sidewall on a small wheel like this. What would you guys recommend? Will 205/45/15 be too big?

No problem. I thought it would be huge too, but I like the way it turned out. Glad I could help.
