it will be a bit rolly-polly on 195/50's i imagine.
the way its measured is 195 = tyre width from sidewall to sidewall in mm

50 = percentage of tyre with ( in this case the sidewall is the hight of half the width of the tyre )

15 = wheel diameter in inches

a 195/45 will be a "lowwer profile " and less likely to rub. mine are 195/45-15's, only diffrence is there on corsa c sxi wheels. im lowered - 60 mm all round with no rubbing in the arches. you can see how they look in my DP

at this thread

195/45/15 will be good mate, think some company's make 185/45/15s, would be good but hard to find, i once had some 195/40/15 silverstones quite good too...

dont advise 205/50/15 though

^^ just after the 195/45/15 were fitted ^^

its started to grind into the wings

sorry forgot to add 60mm drop
