^~josh is right. your 195/50 is only able to support a 6.5" wheel (oem size), and if you some how get them to fit, then you would be risking your life. you will need a 215/40/16 if you are going for the poke/slam/hellaflush look.

yeah go for it. 195 on a 8" isnt even that much of a stretch. easiest way is the brake cleaner method.LOL.

So you have to go up to a 16 tire to fit a 15 wheel??? This I gotta see...

yes, a tire 15" in diameter will only safely support a width of 6.5-7" max. a 16" tire will support the added inch. dont you own a shop, you should know these things.

you all got it wrong... he needs a 14" tire on a 15" wheel to have a slight stretch bros...
think of tires as like rubber bands, if you put a smaller rubber band on a bigger wheel then you will get stretch. duuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh brosephs

225/40-15 would be the safest though.
