195/50-15 is the recommended tire to use so your speedometer will still read accurately. You can use a 185/55-15 or 205/50-15 as well as they only increase the overall tire diameter by about four tenths of an inch.

I had the same wheels in 15x7". I ran 205/50/15 Falken azenis tires. Loved the tire size, but I like some meat on my tires.
