Mike, I thought 205/50 is what need to be on 16" rims.... I've had 4 sets of them so far.
15" is correct at 195/60, that's what I've got for winters...

changing sizes a little bit isn't huge, the main things you need to watch out for are spacing and odometer inaccuracy... There are several calculators online showing the difference in actual speed versus reported (tire gets too big, you're going faster than realize - that's greatest risk with troopers)
Most places I've read say a 2% change from nominal going either larger or smaller from current/OE specs is negligible, but if you make huge changes like some people do with huge aftermarket wheels, it can start to affect gas mileage and the drivetrain slightly.
A one size adjustment should be fine.
