heres a 205/50/15 ...


but thats a 205 on the stock steelie.. i have no problems and it looks pretty bitchin from behind with that 205 ..
but you can run that 195 on the stock rim but it prolly wont make your car any lower..
by the way im lowered on tokico struts and goldline lowering springs.. the first pic is how i sit all the time on flat level pavement..

205/50 and 195/50 ARE NOT THE SAME SIZED TIRES.
The 50 is aspect ratio, not an actual measurement of the thickness of the sidewall.
That means 205/50 and 195/50 do not have the same sidewall size.
195/50/15 is too small in my opinion.
Looks wise, sure your car will be lower to the ground but you are also increasing wheel gap, which makes your car look like its even higher than stock.
Stick with the stock size or get a 205/55 if you can.
