Fat Tyres on Standard Wheels

Does anybody know if i can fit fatter than 195 tyres on my S13.
It's a UK 200sx with 4 stud 15" wheels.
195/60/15 v standard tyres.
Thinking about 205 or 215 but ONLY if it wont screw anything up.
Cheers from Blighty!!

you could go with a 205/55/r15 with no prob

I am NOT sure about a 215 though that might start to be a little to big

205 is great i had that when i was 4 lug.

215 will only be 10mm more but i may appear to have to much of a bulge from the sidewall.

So basically 205/55 and I'm guessing 215/50 or 215/45?
