Yeah, these are the tires that were on them when I bought them.

Huh?
205/50-15 were the stock tire size on my 95 GLX. If you have otherwise, then
your tire store monkey or previous owner were smoking herb...(and put the
wrong size on)

Depending on wheel and offset, you can fit as high as a 225/40-16 without
rubbing. This also happens to be a near exact match on diameter, so just the
offset is the critical thing.

When you junk your 195s, buy a set of 205/50 Bridgestone RE-71s, a great
cheap performance tire...

Heck, just those small tires are giving your speedo (and odo) a 2% error on
top of the factory 5-10% error. That means if you drove 10,000 miles on
them, you speedo will read 10,200...
