The list covered this a while ago in a different form, when we were talking about the stock chrome wheels... If I recall correctly, there was actually a specific Type3 part number for the 15x5's? If that's correct, it would mean that the offset was correct for the rim/tire combo, and a 5" width would allow for 195's I believe. I believe not only would you run into sidewall flex with 185's on a 4" wide rim, but I'd think that could potentially turn into a serious safety issue as well.
