Which will fill the wheel well the best. Can you run a 195/60/15?

195/50/15 is safe on stock suspension. 195/55/15 will fill the well better. 195/60 is pushing it, depending on your offset
Lots of pictures in the wheel/tire thread

Personally I prefer the look of a 185/60/15.

I really like how those fit! I guess it all depends on your suspension though.

!85/60 or 195/55?.......These tires are almost identical in their profile view. On a 6" rim there is less than 1/4" difference in height....with the 195 being taller. The problem with 185/60 is there are no high performance tires listed on TIRERACK....its the size you want for SNOW TIRES....LOL

One thing to consider is how close to "stock" the end product is - as far as its impact on the accuracy(questionable - anyway ) of the speedometer.
Has anyone got the EXACT diameter of an original/stock setup with whatever tyres came with the car?
As I understand it, tyre height is dependent upon a function of WIDTH.

2X aspect ratio + Wheel size. 195*.50*2/25.4 + 15 = height
