I've got Goodyear Eagle RS-A's 205/50R16 on my 2004 Lancer Ralliart... and need to get winter tires... but will be putting on 15-inch steel rims.

If I go with 195/55R15 Bridgestone Blizzak LM22's... will these be the right conversion in terms of tire size?

Thanks for the help!

195/60 is the stock size on the OZ, so I think 55's would be fine

 

Do you think it would be better to go with 195/60R15 instead of 195/55R15 then?

 

according to this calculator

the 55's would be about 1" smaller diameter, so a little ess clearance, I don't know if you're planning on going in any snow with them though, but 1/2" isn't too much difference. that little of difference, I'd go with whatever is more cost effective
