Default 205/50/15 vs. 195/55/15

I'm planning on getting some new rubbers here. I have stock integra wheels..the mesh lookin ones. I'm not sure what they're called actually. I believe they are 15x6.5. Which of these sizes would be better? would the 205 actually fit? Any help would be great. Thanks

you'll have no problem going with the 205/50/15 size tire
I've done it on a few different honda/acura OEM rims.

205

More grip, plus I think it looks a lot better.

205= more grip on the road
50= the tires would not "bubble" when you are taking corners hard or changing lanes fast. and by bubble i mean when pressure is put down on the tires, it would not "deflate".

i think you should go with 195/50/15---wouldnt the wider tire have problems making turns? especially if your cars super lowered??

205/50/15 is a excellent choice for stock wheels, should have came that way from the factory.

205 is about 8" wide. the first number is width of the tire in mm.
more tire on the ground
