195/45/15 tyres have a 87.75 mm sidewall, while 175/65/15 have a 113.75mm sidewall so i would imagine you will have trouble with the 175/65 rubbing on the arches.

and with regards to stretch it really depends what width your wheels are to start with

ermm i am not to sure to be honest .. how would i find out the width of them :/

what wheels are they?

normally 15" will be between 6-7" wide, it will say somewhere on the inside of the wheel somewhere though.
