I don't use them any more, but I have used 185/65-15 on both 4.5" and 5.5"
rims.  They are a bit shorter than stock, make your speedo read about 5%
high (63 mph when you are only doing 60 mph); but there is a wide selection
of fairly high performance tires available in that size, many of them for a
very reasonable price.  For example, TireRack has Bridgestone Potenza G019
for $77/ea in that size, which they consider a "high performance all-season"
tire.
