    195/55 are pretty expensive tires. I would just opt for 195/60/15's because they are cheaper and you can still get good selection. If your car is extremely lowered, just get the 195/55's then. And I would not fit 205/50 on a 6" wheel.

    And yes, 195/55 is the OEM size.

    I kept thinking the blades were 6.5" for some reason...

    The set that's holding the table up under my feet measure 6.5" between the inside of the lips and 7" from edge to edge. I'm going to say they're 6.5".

    A 205 is 10mm wider than a 195, that 5mm wider on the inside and 5mm wider on the outside. 5mm is 0.19 inches. It fits fine. 1,000's of people drive on 205's everyday. You could put 215/45's on there if you wanted to.

    Are you sure they're 6.5"? All sources point me to assume they're 6" bead to bead seat. And I said I wouldn't recommend 205/50 due to cost and the tire bulging. I know they would fit.

    I dunno, I've been using a scale since I was about 10 yrs old and getting paid to do it professionally for the past 10 years. After nearly 20 years I'd hope I could measure from point A to point B successfully, lol.
