i have 205/55/15 on my rims 15x6.5 and they are too big, they stick out in the rear and they scrub like crazy in the front with 1 inch left between the left and right side of the fenders. So i think 195/50 would be better.

Here is a good website for tire sizes. Like you want to get (the 195/50's) that will be the closest size for your speedo to be accurate.

The combo that offers the best handling is : 6,5x15 offset +45 with 195/50
