   Save your money!
   
   Such a large profile tyre is likely to rub!

   They will be fine. They are 10mm difference compared to standard size.
   
   I have 195/55/15's on my saxo lowered -60mm, with no major scrubbing.. just inside of wheel on full lock.

    I had 195/50r15 on my vtr with standard suspension, it was rubbing a little on full lock reverse and when heavy load in the rear.
    
    I would suspect 195/65R15 would rub alot more as it would be 30mm in diameter larger then 195/50 and 39mm larger then original....
    
    Mine where mostly rubbing on the inner plastik arches so could remove them og just let em rub. But try i out...
