Rear Tyre size

Hey guys, I'm gonna be needing new tyres for the rears soon and I was wondering if I should bother getting 195's instead of the 185s that are on there atm? Will I see any better grip?
Currents are 185 / 75 / R14 (the fronts are almost new, say about 3000k's)
The rims are only 5.5" so would 195's be pushing it? What profile would be best so as to not make them look stupid compared to the fronts? 195 / 70? / R14?
Cheers
Wilbo

yeah, but those rims are 7" wide.
I'd definitly go for the extra bit of rubber, depending on how you drive your car.
I tend to give it a bit, so I like that extra cornering/safety.

How big are yours Draven? And on what size rims?
I use to have 195/65's on my 14x5.5" Celica rims.
