     I use 195/50/15's in front.  195/60/15's rear.  I use stock rims BTW.  
     I did have Some Empi 8-spokes for a while.  With the same tire combo 
     they rubbed both front and rear.  Not only do they have a different 
     opffset they are 1.5 inches wider than stock.  Most tire manufacturer 
     reccomend a rim 4.5-6 inches wide for a 195. I think 5.5 is the 
     optimum.  The tires to bow in a little on 4.5's.  They also torque off 
     the tire installer/remover whenever you get new ones.  They tend to be 
     hard to remove when they get really old.
