205/65R15 on 6.5J rims

Is anyone running the above tyres on 8 hole alloys, and what do they look like, too wide? Are the any improvements on handling compared to 195/65R15.

Thanks

Oh, come on now. These cars need wider wheels/tires. I went with these late R129 wheels just because I had an old set in the barn. I cleaned up the lips and gave them a polish but mainly chose them because they are 8" wide. I maybe would have preferred the 8 holes in the same R129 8" width but have grown to like these. Tires are 215/50R16 front & 245/50R16 rear. The factory wheels are just too wimpy
