if you ran a 195-55-15 tire on your car (i think that's what's stock,) the ENTIRE height (diameter) of the tire, from where the tread meets the ground to the top of the tire tread in the wheel well, would be 23.44 inches or 59.55cm (if i did my math right). a 205-55-15 would have an overall height of 23.88 inches or 60.66 cm, and a 205-50-15 would be 23.07 inches or 58.6 cm. so:
195/55/15= 23.44 in
205/55/15= 23.88 in
205/50/15= 23.07 in
so no, with less than an inch difference, i would think you're okay to run the smaller 205's (but your speedometer will be off!)
good luck
