195 or 205

I have to put a new set of tires on my 7in rims
Currently got 205 50 R15's
Was thinking of going 195 but would they look ok on a 7in rim
Or would it be better to stick with 205's
Street use only
Getting potenza RE 003 which are going at 4 for 3 still
Any opinions?

See the NA/NB wheel threads here for pictures: https://forum.miata.net/vb/search.php?searchid=19652404

Pay attention to your rim offset and theirs too.

195 is the perfect size for a 7" wheel. 205 is fine on a 7" but better suited to 7.5" or 8".
