195/45 15 is the right size for 15s BTW, 195/50 15 is wrong, that makes the diameter larger and your speedo will be out.

Both of them were lowered, but stripped, so they didn't sit very low. Mine (yellow) was -60mm on the back , broster's was on coilovers and probably about -80mm, but with no weight that made them about 20-30mm higher than that.

If the dials read 100% right with 195/45 15s, they will read 3.5% slow with 195/50 15s, so at 60mph on the dials, you'll be doing 62.1mph.
The dials won't be 100% accurate though, but that gives you an idea.
