195/65/15 has a diameter of 24.98 inches...so if you refer to my earlier post with the diameters, 225/45 (24.97") is right on! from the tire size, 225 width means you can use a 7" or 7.5" rim width. and if you are using these widths, you want at least a 42 but 45 is better and pretty common on widely available wheels or you can buy nicer wheels that come as high as a 50 offset.

so from stock tire size, you pretty much figured out what you need
- 225/45/17 tires
- 17x7 or 17x7.5 wheels
- 45ish offset
