close enough, your stock tire diameter is 23.2'' with the 205/50/15's your tire diameter will be 23.07....minimal difference.
Generally when you go up in diameter (14 - 15'') you go up 10 in width (195 - 205 - 215 etc) and down 10 in series (ratio 60 - 50 - 40 etc)

Your speedo will be off a lil though. On my dx it had 14in steelies and when i went to 15's with 205/50/15's it threw the speedo off about 3 to 4 mph.
