which 944 wheels? cookie cutters or phone dials?

I dont know exactly how wide in inches my tires are, but I have 15x7 cookie cutters in the rear of my car and have 195/60 r 15 tires. I have about 1/4 clearance in the back after lowering two notches, so I wouldnt go much wider than that... but I have heard of people running 205s, but 195 has PLENTY of meat to it
