Also agree re: tire sidewall. Have two sets rims/tires, Firehawk SH30 and Nokia NRV in 195/60R15 and are different beasts, the Nokian having a terribly soft sidewall and bounce all over (Kilen/Lesfojors & Koni full hard x4). If committed to 15" rim, consider tinkering w/ tire psi, starting at full load psi (like 30/32 f/r). Note that's the 185/65R15 spec and so I found they need more like 34/36psi for the 195/60R15 size. But the Nokians have needed even 3psi MORE to firm up (they look like flat tires at 30/32psi!). The obvious risk is abnormal tire wear, which after 2 sets Firehawks and 1 set Nokians has not been an issue.
