Default 205 tires ok?

I just droped my new set of shoes off to get tire put on, and thier putting on 205's cause they had them in stock. I wanted to get 195's just cause thats what I thought I needed. Well I don't know much about tire sizes, so could someone tell me whats different between the 2? and will the 205's make my wheels look too meaty? or funny looking? thier on 15's by the way.

the 205 or 195 is the width of the tires, leaves a wider foot print, should handle little better. Should not look any different unless you have a bigger sidewall (middle number).

Also depending on the offset on your wheels or if the car is lowered then the 205's might rub.
