One of my winter project is to install 15 inches wheels and tires.
Like you know, not a lot of choice in 185-60/R13 tires in North America.
I bought the Rota wheels 15 x6 for Fiat car also 4 new tires, two Yokohama SDrive 195-45/R15 for the front wheels and also the same brand two 195-50/R15 for the rear.
Today I have my first drive with the new wheels tires combo, everything is perfect, the ride quality, comfort , no vibration... but the rear tires rub little bit in the rear fenders on small bump and also the front wheels have a light rub at 85-100% full turn in the plastic fender liners edge depending on whether the car is really flat or one wheel on a bump. .
Possible solution ... roll the rear fenders and remove plastic fender liners in the front.
I not really like those two solutions .... I don't want roll the rear fenders, it is too risky .. crack the paint Etc.
And I want to keep the plastic fender liners in the front, I like the protection of road debris.
I found a tire size that has not often been mentioned on the forum in the 15 inches, 185-45/R15.
I decide to try that way , new tires size.
That tire size are available locally.
When the new tires will be installed I will give you a feedback on how is going.
