I don't think you will have a problem, I'm on H&R springs (1.6 drop front and 1.4 drop rear but I think its lower then that) with 15x7 + 25 offset wheels running 195/55r15. The Tein drop is like 1.4 F /1.6R.

Camber bolts aren't need but I would get them, a lot people said it makes the car handle better and I would have to agree I just installed mine this weekend and had the alignment done and the car handle even better now.

I hope we are talking about the GE8.
Can I see some pics of your ride?
And tein s techs has two models, one lowers 1.6/1.4 and the other lowers 1.6/1.6 ( most people here have this one).
TIA

Yup talking about the GE8

here's one with 195/50/15 up front

and here's one with 195/55/15 up front. I needed new tires and I got these tires for free, you can see the gap between the 195/50's & 195/55's

Also I don't have rear seats in my car so it doesn't sit all that low.

Thanks for posting this, I had yet to see 195/55/15 and that is going to be my next size within a few months, I was worried about the gap, but that's not too terrible. 195/50 is a little short on springs.

swflej1 , i love that meat look..
thanks for the images, i appreciate !
i thought i was the only one who would run tein s techs on 195 55 r15 rubbers.
good to see your ride bud

did u do any fender mods with those 195 55 tyres on ? or u just didn't rub ?

are u on stock shocks ? if yes, how is the ride ? bearable on potholes/ rough patches ?

Thanks man, I didn't do any fender mod those will come when ever I go to coilovers. Yup stock shocks, but I'm on H&R springs and the ride is great I have no complaints.

I do not understand how some people rub with 195/55/15 and +41 RPF1 and Swift springs.I'm sure H&R give more of a drop then Swifts and you are running a +25 offset

and no fender mod or rubbing? do the camber bolts allow that much help with rubbing in front?
