But the thing is i don't want to use low pros on my stock OZ rims(15"). I know i could use one but i don't like the look of a low-pro on a small rim.
If anyone knows if these tires are lo-pros or not, it would help me a lot. Thanks.

To whomever wanted the higher profile tires, I made a mistake once before and put 205/60/15 tires on. I now have 205/55/15 but I just wanted to let you know the 205/60's will fit but they rub a bit on full lock turns. The thing with that size tire is that your speedo will run slower than your actual speed. I have 2 tickets to show for that.
The 205/55/15's I have do not have as tall a side wall but still give some width. They are only supposed to be off by less than 1mph at 70 on the speedo. (69.2)

If you order the same size as stock (195/60/15), you won't have low profile. The 205/55/15 I have on mine look a tad more low profile than stock, but still not much. But as said above, it's more of a slang term, and most people will consider anything less than 50 aspect ratio to be "low profile". Hope that helps.
Oh yeah, and you won't have much of a problem mismatching the fronts and rears. The road feel might be a tad uncomfortable, but it won't be dangerous or detrimental. I personally prefer the same tires, but when money is tight, I only replace as needed.
