the 15" rim that came on the sport standard as far as i know took a 205 width tyre, would a 195 sit on the rim ok?

I think the owners hand book lists 195 tyres for 15" rims in the tyre size / pressures guide.

you must have a different handbook from me - these are the official recomms (page 127)
175/70/14 (can you imagine? OK for ice-racing I guess
)
195/60/14
195/65/14
205/55/15
200/60/365 if you wanted to go metric (and back in time)

I had 195x50x15's on the front of my sport with my "winter" wheels. They fit OK and personally think the car looks better with the lower profile.
