looks terrible imo, wheels are far far too big and wide,
banded steelies let a nice looking car down majorly but if your happy with them thats all that matters.

tbh its not as bad as first looks! .. its 195/45/15 on a 9 at the back, so there is alot worse stretch out there. but i can see what you mean tho

Sorry to say it but that looks abit ott. I've done 15" banded steels well over a year ago, after talking to people who said 15's for a daily. In the end without a decent stretch u just cant get the car low enough to pull of a good look, hence why if u look at most the good examples of cleaned/euro saxo's there on 14's or smaller.
Front look spot on stance wise, but the rear looks terrible sits far to high n wide. I tried 195/45's on my 8's and tbh the looked the best (stretch wise), But would only allow me to lower the rear about 70mm or so. I've ran 165/50's which is a big stretch on the fronts and 185's which i find a nice stretch & stance but again wouldn't allow me to lower the rear more than around 85mm. But i think for the best i'd go for 175's on a 8 and 185's on a 9!
If ur set on keeping 195's on the rear go get some toyo's give alot better stretch.
But if im honest i reckon u'll get ALOT of stick of the police for them. The sad fact of the matter is ur driving a car which is considered to be a "boy racers" car, which is often modified etc and so gets alot of unwanted attention as it is. Just so you know aswell they ARE illegal. Alot of people say that as long as the tyre is within the arch etc then they are legal. Which is true to a certain extent but what u've got to remeber is the police can do you for what the consider a unsafe/un-roadworthy car. Them wheels look to stick out to far and the police will do u for been a danger to pedestrains, Also if u arches scrub bthe tyres at all and the police are been abit of a dick they'll do u for having unroadworthy tyres.

IMO them banded steelies look crazy wide and set it right off stance is awsum for the euro look your going for and as you have said it really off the road most the time except now till shows etc so the strech isn't really going to be an issue. Loving the progress though mate banded steelies on a sax that not following the crowd  Wicked car.
