195/55/15 or 205/50/15 are both a good size, you won't be able to tell the difference in 10mm of tread width though.

Imo, 195-50s go well on 6-6.5" width tires and 205-50s go well on 7"

Go with 205/50/15. 195/50/15 is too small.

195/50-15 is too small. Either 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 are fine. And between those two, you won't be able to notice any difference in looks; the 195/55 is "fatter" by less than two tenths of an inch.

Here are the calculated outer diameters of these three sizes:

195/50-15 - 22.68 inches
195/55-15 - 23.44 inches
205/50-15 - 23.07 inches
