i have 195 50 15s and lowered 40mill, it doesnt rub and is quite good over bumps plus looks lower rather than 45 profile, although u would probably need 45s if lowered anymore

I run Team Dynamics Pro Race 3's in white, there a 15" and I use 195/45/15 tires on them, handles like a dream and look lovely!

Is 195 the widest you can go? I was looking at some 205 - 40 - 16 but wondering if they are too wide

Depends on the width of the rim and also your clearance from the arch.

195 50 15 is the correct tyre size, the 16s that I have are 205 40 16, they rub abit on full lock but that has alot to do with being lowered 75mil, a standard height corsa can take a 17 wheel with some 215's looks daft mind but they'll fit

So its not just what the arch will fit because the lower you go the skinnier the tyre has to be to adjust for natural camber, 40mil should be fine with wider than 195, but anything over that I'd stick to 195 and anything over ~60mil I'd consider a skinnier tyre
