You have to check how wide the wheels are, 6 inches or 7. ( 6" 195/50/15-195/55/15) ( 7" 205/50/15-205/55/15)

I bought rims 15x6.5. what size tires should i mount on them? 195/55/15 or 205/55/15 or 205/50/15. im kinda reluctant to go with the 50 cause my car is already pretty low and it scraps a lot. what you guys think??

195/50/15 is just the right size, 45's are too small. 205's will most likely rub. i have a set of azenis 205/50/15's and they rub but the extra contact area is worth it for the hard driving

I depends on why you have your car. If it is for looks and you want low profile then get the 45, but the lower the profile the worse the drive is, so performance go with the 50's. For the width the 205 will give you a bigger contact patch, but it also has the chance of rubbing on the fender. Also if you don't have power steering it will be harder to turn if it is wider.

I use 195/50/15 tires on all the 15s i've had. I recomend them, i'm thinking of going 205 next round. The wheels i have now are 6.5in wide i shouldn't have any problems with a 205.
