what kind of car do you have most of all?
any type of suspension mods?
what type of tires are you looking for?

i got a eh2 and my suspension is almost stock height.

i also have a h22 sitting in front so that might make a little difference.

but anyways i just wanted to know because i found a set of tires for pretty cheap and wanted to get them for later uses, but they're 205/50 and i have 195/50 right now.

I would stick with 195/50/15 but if you want to run a wider tire and your rims are capable of it then get the 205's but you might rub even on stock suspension in which case stick with the 195's .

205's for sure man. That is of course, if you're not slammed.

they should work fine if your not slammed. They are a little bit taller and wider though.

their 205mm wide and 102.5mm tall, if you have 102.5mm of space between your wheel and your fender then sure they should be fine, i never had any problems running a 205 width tire its all in the height if you can fit it, it should be fine
