I'm looking for snow tires for my GF's Protege 5. Just wondering if 205/50/16's will fit on her stock wheels because the selection is good in this size. I'm not finding too many 195/50/16's.

205/50 will fit just fine. 195/50s are hard to find in any kind of tire, and expensive when you do find them. In the summer I run 205/45s on the stock rims; in the winter though I switch to 195/55/15 on steelies.
