question: why put tires much lower than those of origin?

185/60R15 = Overall Diameter: 23.74 in
195/45R16 = Overall Diameter: 22.90 in
Diameter Difference: 3.54% ! They say never exceeded 3% difference

Correct. And I might even do a 185/45/16 on these wheels to stretch the tire to fit even better.
The car isn't near being done as far as how its going to look and sit.
