theyre too fat. You'll need to modify yer arches (front and rear) - specially if car is lowered. they'll defo catch on outer body and they may chaff on the suspension/inner body etc... youll prob need to flare yer arches.
I've just picked up some 195's on 15" rims and theyre fat mothers - need to roll arches - cars lowered too so gotta watch fronts specially when cornering.

195/50 15" fit fine on my lowered nova

195 50 15 lowered 60 with ET49 offset

No rubbing atall. Even on full lock with no arch mods (except rear lips removed)

either 195/50/15 or less will be ok, have known of a guy who rubbed on 45's though but he had a new rear quater fitted and this just caught a bit.
