I got a set of mahles on the way (Thanks Joe). Now I need something to go on them. I am thinking about 195/55/15s, not to big not to small. Has anyone run this size and how did they work out. Or any other suggestions for a 1.7 with no flares and I would like to avoid rolling the fenders.

I prefer 195/65. They are nearly identical to the OE 165's so you keep accurate speedo and gearing is unchanged. I believe 205 is too wide for a 5.5" wheel, although many run 205's. A 205 may rub on the outside rear on one side of the other.
