    tyre mashing?!?!?!?

    195/50's will be fine, from memory the rewinds are a zero offset 7 inch rim, so at most you will have to roll your guards (fold the lip under, no big deal)

    depends what height you run your car at really

    get 195/50's on them, fit them and see what happens, it won't be hard to solve any rubbing issues as they should only be slight.

    dont bother going with wider than 195x50 they stretch on the rim and reduce sidewall flex!

    185/60 is a good size on a budget, as increased sidewall height makes up for the reduced width, so less sidewall flex. can be picked up cheaper than lower profile tires, too, cause they're pretty taxi spec.
