Would the tire size 195/50/15 look goofy on a stock civic with no drop? I currently have the stock 185/65/15 on my car.

Way too much gap if you did that. I have 195/60/15, and I wouldn't go any thinner unless you're lowered. This is the only pic I got,

195/50/15's would look a little strange, but you'd be faster with it

a 195/60-15 would look almost identical to your 185/65/15's.

a 195/50-15... thats almost an Inch less sidewall... Think about it.

do i hear a 195/55 ? lol

195/50 would alter your odometer big time, if i were you, i'd think about at least 205/50 or 195/55

ty.barrack is an unknown quantity at this point
my 04 civic came with 195 60 15, they look really good, but I put on some 18" wheels 215-35-18, they are the same height all together as my steelies were but the gap looks really bad, getting a 2 inch drop tomorrow new springs.
