LOL! Seems until today still many people are not aware of the sport rim offset importance...

BTW, it is also a big increase of tire width from 175 to 195, usually i will propose to move to 185 first..

175/65/R14 -> 185/55/R15 (Same height & speedometer also not much difference)

By going 195/55/R15, you tire also larger in height & width which is big trouble for normal car with limited space.
If still want 195, at least need to go lower 50 profile..

The main issue now is sport rim offset, 2nd is tire size.. Please get that right before upgrading it.
As a lot of tire shop just want to clear their sport rims and dont care about the aftermath since you are the one that will pay all the side effects.. bangwall.gif
