Stock tire size is 185/65-14
That's 23.5" total diameter.
205/50-15 has a total diameter of 23.1"
and
195/55-15 has a total diameter of 23.4"
So as you can see, the difference is null. You're comparing 3 or 4 tenths of an inch.
If you were shooting for exactly the same size on a 15" rim 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 would be your best bet
