Most 195/50-15 tires are approved for rim widths of 5.5 to 7.0 inches. Most tires appear stretched on the rim at the upper end of the range of rim widths, and bulging at the lower end.

195/50-15 may still be the best size 15" tire for your car (true of most pre-'96 Civics and CRXs), no matter how it looks...

 

yea, i like to ride low, and the more i can tuck the better. my rear fenders are rolled, but still...i dont like bulging sidewalls
