I vote for Jim's 205/50x15. Nice thing is there are several very good choices. Use TireRack's testing venues to see which onesuits you best. Jim can run you thru them. good luck.

If the 195/55R15 is rubbing I would suggest a little more negative camber and or rolling the fender lip. The 195/55R15 is the narrowest size I would recommend for the car.
