Depends which ones.  If they're 15" 6J I'd go for 195/45/15

If it were me then I'd go for 185/45/14 then.  Depends what you want (low profile?) and how your car is setup, I think stock they were 185/60/14

I think 195s are too fat, they're only 5.5j aren't they?

Stock is 185/60 

I would have 185/45 because my car is lower and would want lower profile tyres to match.  If you just want the tyre it should have depth wise then go for 185/60 in my opinion. My car pictured below is running a 45 profile for reference.......

185/60/14 is the best size and was also the factory option size so will keep the gearing / speedo spot on.
