I'll say 205/50/15s. As far as what tire, pick what you want.

205/50-15 would be good, or you could use 195/55-15

I run 195/50/15's. 205's will rub if your car is too low.

Plus, with 195/50's the speedo will only be .1 % off wheras if you have 205/50's then the speedo will be 1.9% off.

I can't stand 195/50-15s. I'd much rather have a 205/50-15 with a bigger sidewall.

195/50s look awkward, too.
