Anthony you have no clue what you are talking about. Go with the 195/55R15, they are the same size as the OEM tires, and you won't have any problems with your speedo being of on the speed. If you go to a smaller tires, yes you will be lower to the ground, but you will be going faster then what your speedo says, and going slower if you put a bigger tires on.

I have 195/55R15 on my car, and I don't rub at all, and I am tucking my tires.

spike isnt it the other way around? you will be going faster than what speedo says if you have bigger and you will be going slower with smaller? pretty sire thats how it works

anthony just wants those fatter 205 tires lol i think i kinda like how those look too

and with the speedo being off its not that huge of a deal 205 50s are only 1.6 km/h slower than speedo

No with a smaller tire you will be going faster then what it reads, as it's a smaller diameter, and slower with a bigger tire, as it's a bigger diameter. I'm 100% sure of it, as I used to run 18's on my last 240SX and they are about 1.5" bigger diameter then my stock ones,and when doing 120kms on my speedo, i was really only doing 105kms.
