the 195/55/15 tire would have a diameter of about 23.4" and the 195/50/15 tire would have a diameter of about 22.7" That means the wheel gap would increase by about .35" or say half a finger. If thats even that noticable. Other than that, you speedo would read slightly off, but not by much. There is a link on here to a site that you just plug in the info and it'll tell you how far off it would be but I can't think of it. Maybe a search would find it if your that concerned.
