Yes, because the diameter is going to be smaller than stock. Your speedometer will say you are going faster than you are and your miles will go up faster than they should.

I'd personally choose a 195-55 for a 15 inch rim. The profile isn't too small and it's definitely wide enough. 50 however, is SMALL. I regret not getting 55, but I have 60. Looks much better than stock.
