195/50/15s are supposed to be just a touch too big, 195/45/15s are supposed to do the job ;) 40 profiles would look good, but a fair bit more expensive and not necessary :)

195/40/16 are the best really [ERRR] they are the smallest... the usual is 194/45/16. the 40 profile ones are dearer...

I have 205/45/16's which are fair big, they scrub but fill the arches mint,
