195/50 and the 215/50's are way to small for the 3rd gen, IMO.
it will have HUGE fender gap, and make the car very low to the ground.

I agree with stage20 going to either of the sizes you mention you most probably would not be happy.And 15"X7" rims may prove to narrow for 50 series tires.You could go to a 225/60/15 or 235/60/15 and still be very close to original tire height and still give you more contact patch.Remember you have to consider your speedometer when you change tire height also.
