195-50-15 is 8.5mm shorter and 10mm wider than 185-55-15, the speedo will also read 1.5% too fast /98.5kph will read as 100kph.
chances are you would never notice the difference in the treal world, 195 should fit without any rubbing (if not lowered to much) ,
195-40-16 is the perfect aftermarket tyre size for cars that came with 145-80-13, giving an almost identicle overall diameter and minimum risk of rubbing.
this site is good for tyre comparison:

Re: tyres???
If your thinking about getting anti role bars i would say get the white line rear 20/22mm one and a combo van 24mm standard one. a decent rear is more important to reduce understeer (too thick front but skinny rear causes understeer) and the combo front is plenty good enough for all but the most extreem cars.

Re: tyres???
I've got toyo's on my car and they're awesome! They cost about £60 each but are worth it, I can't even wheel spin it any more! (Unless I REALLY rag it) Cant remember the code but I know they're 16"
