hello mate, it should state on the side of the drivers door what size tyres you can run on your model, mine states between 195 an 205 but cant remmember if it mentioned a profile difference..

The standart tire is must be 205/55/15 but there is a good tire with cheap price offer to Me but the size is 195/50/15.

the wide is smaller and the overall diameter is also smaller.

I'm afraid if the handling will be worse and the appearance is not good also

have you checked the reference lable on the pillar beside the drivers door? this as on mine states the tyre sizes an profile difference, also the bar pressure to be run. what ever you decide make sure you run the same pair of tyres on each axle.

This is what 195/50/15s look llike with a 30mm drop.
