WHeel gap on 15's

I dropped my car on neuspeed sport springs and there is still a big wheel gap (2 finger in the front and 3 finger in the back).
my tire size is 195/55r 15.
what is a good tire size for 15 inch wheels to get rid of the gap.
im thinkin 195/60r 15 or 205/60r 15... whats the exact difference between these two?

thanks for ur help guys [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

The numbers ina tire mean, as follows:
For example if you had a 205/40ZR17
the 205 is the width of the tire
the 40 is the height of the side wall
the zr is the rating for the tire ( defines the limits speed wise for the tire)
and the 17 is the size of the rim

In other words if you are trying to get rid of wheel gap try a 60 or 70 series tire
