They're a little wider - beyond the limit? I couldn't say...

Have a shufti at the MintyLamb tire calculator:

According to this, a 195/65-15 is real close to the original size.  I have a 
pair of 205/65-15 tires on my stock rims, and the look a bit fat.  I plan to 
replace them with the 195/65-15 size.

I'm thinking the Sumitomo HTR - I've got a set on my Spitfire that are nice and 
sticky, and not noisy.  Decent price, too...
