The ideal offset for 15x7's on an '02 is et26 so with those wheels a 12mm spacer should do the trick. WITH longer wheel studs!!!

A 195/50-15 tire may fit w/o rolling the fender lips but a 205 will need a little massaging of those fender lips.

I've seen et24 through et28 with 15x7's fit with either 195's or 205's depending on the clearance of any individual car. So, that said if you have trouble finding 12mm then 10mm will work.
