To get 15 inch alloys do I need 195/50/15 or 195/45/15 ?

If lowered 45 section tyres if not lowered 195/50's for more comfort I suppose,if you encounter any rubing just roll the arches

i would go with 195/45/15

i just got myself some 15's with 195/50/15 tyres and theres no problems with rubbing at all and thats with the weight of 5 other wheels in the back. If you arent lowering it then 50's will fill the gap in the arches more and are more comfortable. If you plan on lowering it 45's will work better.

I have rubbing on 14's lol! Get the 195/45 for your alloys.

As i read on here before, rubbing depends on offset too, but i'd say 195/45 is your safest bet as it would have less chance of rubbing than 195/50 ever would. Plus if you already have/plan to lower your car (which you should ) theres also less chance of rubbing!
