195/60/15 on stock EX wheels?

I'm looking at some new tires, and I think I'd like to step up a size. It seems that in 195, the 60 seems to be closer to stock size than the 195/65's, so that's what I've primarily been shopping for. These will fit the stock wheels, correct?

That size will most definitely fit nicely. I have an EX coupe w/ the 195/60/15 Michelins. They fit just fine, and its just big enough to tell a difference, but not so big that its too much for the stock wheel. The speedometer and odometer are affected w/ the 195/60/15 by such a small amount thats its just trivial. Go for it, man!

You could even go with a 205/60/15. Off by just as much and you get better grip and braking.

but at the expense of snow traction, which is a big factor where I live (actually, it's my motivation for getting tires at all). If I end up getting summer wheels, I'll probably run 205's on them though.

Actually, I don't think that 205/60/15's offset the speedo and odometer by the same amount....check the tire calc first.
