^ya, 205/50/16 will give you a 0.2% difference in actual speed - speedometer.

Im actually going with the same size rims and going to go with 205/45/16 tires for a 3.6% difference in speed. 3.6% is very small still.

I run 215/50/16 on my 16x7. I believe they are the closest correct ratio for a EX.

Indeed...

Using a tire size calculator, 215/50/16 is a 0% different when compared to the stock 185/65/15.

The 205/50/16 is only a 1.6% difference, though. (increases mph by less than 1mph) It's what I had on my 16x7 wheels.
