Yes, I am sure. Check the tire manufactures wheel width recommendations for 195 tires. Show us 'multiple posts' of people here putting 195 on stock wheels.

Are you sure? I've seen multiple posts from people on here saying they use 195's on their stock wheels. The tire I linked above has the exact measurements of someone on this website using stock wheels on a lowered car. If I do go with 175-185, what should the ratio be? Still around 60-65? |
You are probably seeing aftermarket rims with the 195s. 5.5" rims are common and they will run a 195. You can get Chromies that are like stock in a 5.5" or one of the many popular aftermarket rims, like 8 spoke empis.
