weird combination?

i just find 2 tires in my basement...they are very new...dont know who bought them. they are 195/65R15 Bridgestone Turenza touring tires with like 85% treads left.

i am planning to get the 02 LX 15inches hub cap and steelies. and i need to buy 2 new tires and use the 2 from my basement. is it possible or good idea if i....

a)get 2 new 195/50R15 and put on the front and 195/65R15 in the rear (since they have higher sidewall)?
or
b)get 2 new 195/60R15 in front and put the 195/65R15 in the rear?
or
c)195/65R15 in the front and get 2 new 205/50R15 in the back?
or
d)195/65R15 in the front and get 2 new 205/55R15 in the back?
or
e)keep all 4 corners 195/65R15? but would it rub when i have 5 ppl in my car???

i am confused and can't decide what to do, so i am asking for everyone to give me some fedback. thanks in advance

keep all corners of same size, this tire size it's a bit bigger, so the diameter of the tire it's a bit bigger, no big deal, I don't think it will rub unless the car has been lowered, but be careful on speed bumps or potholes, bouncing with 5 people inside may make them rub.

today i picked up some SiR rims (cdn model) and it has 185/65R15
i just want to know if i put 205/55R15, would it be too wide? or i should just get 195/65R15 instead?

TIRE CALC use this... either one will be ok...speedometer reading will be a bit off, but I guess, you won't mind...just keep all sizes equal...but 205s are close to the limit of a 6" wide rim...
