You don't mention what size (not just the tread width, but the aspect ratio) or what model tires you're talking about. But most 195/50-15 and 195/55-15 tires are approved only for mounting on rims that are 5.5-7.0 inches wide. I sure wouldn't do it.

For street tires, you're much better off getting rims that are 15x6 or 15x6.5.
