In order to put a 195 tire on a 5.5" wheel you need to find someone with 1) huge arms, and 2) the balls to put the tire on that wheel. Some people will just laugh and some will looked scared

I put 195/55x14" Kumho DOT R tires on my 14x5.5" wheels back when I 1st started autocrossing. Took two HUGE guys to get it on the rim. I know another shop that used gasoline, a match and sunlight to get 225/45x15" DOT R tires on 15x6" rims. There was an explosion and the bead finally seated on the wheel.
