No idea if they'll cause problems or not, but if you're on 185/55/14 now, then you should be on 195/45/15 ideally

i have 195/45/15 on a 60ml all round drop they dont rub apart from when on full lock so i would say go for the 195/45/15 imo its a safe bet x

alot of poeple run 50 profile. Itll be fine, apart from full lock as said, when they rub a little bit.

does 50 profile not effect the speedo

Yep. Rolling radius will be slightly larger, so you'll be travelling slightly faster than your speedo says.
