My '96 850 sedan calls for 195/60-15 tires. I have mostly used the factory size on it, though 205/55-15s worked fine the time I used them as well.

If you car calls for 195/60s and you install 195/65s the only real problem would likely be that your speedometer would be off such that your actual speed would be higher than the indicated speed due to the larger outer diameter of the 65 aspect ratio tire. Generally I would not put 195/65s on your car. Either use the factory size or 205/55s.
