205/50R15 is a pretty fat tire
i run 195/45R15 and i wish it was slimmer.. (mine dont even come close to rubbing)
the 15's will have a smaller diameter than the 17's you used to run by 1.63%.
so they should fit
you might wana check into the offset tho

205/50/15 DD with no rub on different cars for 4yrs......you'll be fine with them

Bingo.
Depends on wheel width & offset, ride height, roll stiffness, and camber settings. Tire model and dimensions are only a couple of the many variables involved.
I've run 205/50-15 RT-215 Azenis on 15x7" +40mm wheels with no rubbing whatsoever on unmodified fenders, but I have a lot of roll stiffness (500lbs-in F/600lbs-in R with 22mm F/15mm R bars), a conservative ride height, and my suspension moves with the stock camber curve.
I've also run 225/45-15 Hankook RS2-Z212s on the same wheels with the same suspension settings, with only minimal rubbing of the fender liners (no metal bodywork was touched) at full steering lock.

That really doesn't matter. I've never seen anyone with a clearance problem between the tire and knuckle or upper ball joint.
Like I said, you will not have any problems if you're using a 15x7" +40mm wheel with 205/50-15 Azenis, provided that you aren't running any adjustable control arms and have a reasonable ride height. Any rubbing will be minimal contact with the fender liners at full lock with some body roll.
