Default Pic Request: 195/50/15 and 205/50/15 Comparision

Would anyone happen to have a picture of these 2 size tires side by side, or if anyone has a good pic of them from the rear and side close up... I'm trying to see how big of a difference there really is before I buy tires for my newly lowered hatch to see if I'll rub or not. Thanks.

but they are waayyyyyy cheaper than 205/50 tires (205/50 ES100's = $74 vs. $56 for 195/50 from Tire Rack). Plus I think 195's are a better fit for stock 6" wheels than 205's.

i've had both and i think the 195's made the car a little lower then the 205's; however, the 205's filled up the wheel wells better. If you're looking to go real low without rubbing, 195's are the way to go and the 205's are better for a little more grip.
