Then go with the 205’s.
If you’re concerned with traction, the treadwear rating and type of tire will make all the difference, not 10mm of section width.

Re: Which size tires should I got with?
both of those tires are wrong
the 55's are too tall. Unless you want a really tall sidewall. It will throwoff your speedo and slow down your acceleration.
The 205/50 is still too tall. On a x7" rim, the width won't make a difference. It will balloon over the rim and have a soft sidewall. The speedo will be off and your accelleration will suffer.
The 185/65 is still too tall, just narrower, and will suffer the same as the others.
You want 195/50/15
