195/45/15 is way undersized. Wheel will look tiny and speedo will be out of wack.

195-45-15's will be close enough to use

195-50-15 would be better

you should run 195-50-15

with 195-45-15's, your speedometer will be off by about 4.5%

195-45-15 are too small, so you will run higher rpms all the time....
