Tire size help
#2
195/50 will be a little small. To maintain the overall diameter, you'll want to go 195/55/15. with a smaller tire, you aren't going as fast as your speedo says, your odometer is off, and your warranty runs out quicker.
Also, you might want to check your tires as the base model comes with 175/65/15. Not 175/60 tires. to go to a tire that is close to this you'd need to go 195/55/15 which is .1" taller - a better option.

What tires are those?
For the base stock 175/65R15 size, the closest replacement to match the overall height is 195/60R15

Tire size calculator
I've been using this site to double check my tire sizes, when I +0, for years now. I'd try and jump for the 205/50s myself hehe

this may sound dumb but
can you fit a 195 on the base model rim? its so thin... what is it like 15 x 6?
adding another .8 inches to that seems very risky if possible?
but i can be totally wrong

by .8 i mean fromt 175 to 195

The Integra ran 195/55 on 15" alloy wheels Granted these are steel but likely they'll take 195 width.
OP, why are you stuck on these wheels? You can get yokohama AVS ES100's for cheaper and in the right size. The 195's are a bit small and will also create even more fender gap than stock. They'll also make for a harsher ride due to a shorter sidewall height. (then there's the Odometer/speedo being off and the warranty running out sooner)
