Default Width question . 15 x 7.5

Im thinking about buying a set of rims with these dimensions.
Can I get by using a 195 - 50 - 15, and will 205 - 50 15 azenis be okay for track ( auto x , etc ) use with these rims.
The 195's on a 7.5 , is there a chance the tire might slipoff from the lip of the rim, the beed.

any thoughts , please share

Someone here runs 205/50/15 Azenis on a 15x8. I'm not sure about your 195 size tire tho.

Azenis rim range is 5.5-7.5 for the 205, according to their website, so you'd be fine. As for the 195, check the manufacturer's website or tirerack and look up the rim width range for that tire. If they say like 5.5-7.0 then it's not ok obviously.

instead of us trying to prove to you it is not worth it, how about you prove to us why a 195 would be good on a 7.5 wheel?

The Azenis on that wheel would be great, but I wouldn't do the 195s. When you stretch a narrow tire into a wide wheel you run the risk of the bead pulling away from the rim.
