There are other sizes that will stay at a stock tire height yet give you a wider foot print.

205/55/15 is a very popular size. This size has the same heigh at a 185/60/15, but is ~20mm wider.

I think he wants to know if his 195 width tires will fit on a 7" wide wheel.

Why do you need to stick with stock tires?

then why are you even looking for new wheels?

Tires are far more important than wheels.. well unless you're trying to impress all the girlies, if thats the case proceed like this conversation never happened.
