You need to buy mag wheel lug nuts. They screw down and fit inside the
hole in the wheel. This is because the wheel is made of aluminium. If
traditional lug nuts were used they would wear the wheel where contact
is made significantly. With this setup pressure is exerted on the face
of the wheel hub, rather than on the inside edge of the hole like on a
steel wheel.
I've heard that most go with 185/70R14. I think you may have trouble
with rubbing (though I have no firsthand knowledge) with the 195's, a
full 5 cm's wider. That's a lot. I will be purchasing the exact same
wheels in the next few weeks and I plan to go with 185's.
