Well, after all my research and such, I ended up having to go back with the stock 14" rim. As I mentioned, the tires were pretty worn. Noticed a hopping in the right rear. Pulled the tire, and tread was beginning to separate from the carcass/casing. In other words, you don't drive on a tire doing that, or you may see sever destruction of tire. So, I had to get tires today, and guess which size they had in stock.

The 185/55/15 was also a bit of an odd size, and about $25/tire more than the stock size. Guess I'll just do some moon wheel covers instead.
