No, it's fine for 15x7.

195 & 205 are the commonly used width for 15x7's

195 will be cheaper, 205 will look better and have more grip.

I run 205s.

Good luck finding RE002s in 205/50/15 anytime soon.
With the 3/4 sale they have had for last two months they are sold out everywhere in Aus.
Until more come in to the country, and they will be at full fair.
