Bob,
There some certain recommendations regarding tyre width/heigh and rim width. For 195/60R15 6J rims are the best choice although 5.5 and 6.5 are permitted too. But you'd keep in mind that there are the general tyre vs rims rules on the one hand and geometry limitations (mostly for tyres) for C900 wheel arc on the other hand.
I'm using 195/60R15 on 9K rims (these are 6", not 5.5") for summer and 195/65R15 (this gives me a bit increased road clearence) on stock C900 rims for winter. I wouldn't go to 205 and bigger size for winter (this will increase the resistance on snowed and melted road and decrease the handling and stability and cross-countrybility) or recommend it to any friend of mine.
