Default Need help ASAP quick - had a blowout

So I run 195-45-15s on my slammed EJ,my camber wear on front tire is ridiculous,I noticed today when I hit a nail.
Anyway I can get a great deal on some 195-65(eww)-15s,and will put my basically new 45s from the back on the front,and put the 65s on the back to reduce the risk of wheel rub when turning the steering wheel.

Just need to figure something out relatively soon,I can drive my truck until I sort it out,but I'd rather drive the civic
Thanks

Let's see... either your undersized tires, or some new, extremely oversized tires. Is there a third option? Because the ones you've mentioned aren't really sound ideas.

For reference sake:
195/45/15 - 3.65% undersized
195/65/15 - 9.85% oversized

195/50/15's would be ideal, in this scenario.

I like the stretched tire/cambered look,but I've come to realize that that too much negative camber or improper alignment will just eat up my new tires!
I haven't really shopped around yet,those 195/65s I found used for a pretty nice price.Realistically I'd like the some 45s,I'm prolly going to get whatever I can to get me by,then order some new Federal 45s to match my set and throw em on after I get an alignment.
