I thought 185SR15's were 145e tire. Those are unavailable. I ran 165-15's for years, which are available cheap and widely, but moved up to 15x6" 240 rims and 195-60-15's. They fit fine. I think the extra width is all on the outside.
I one put 205something15's on stock rims, but they looked a little funny, all pinched in froma very wide tread.

I think any avaiable 195's will probably be fine. 140's have plenty of room int he wells.
