Default Tire question? 195/55/15 to 205/50/15?

Its time to change the tires on my 95 GS-R 15" stocks..the original size is 195/55/15...but someone recommended that I change em to 205/50/15 ... what are the pros and cons on changing to this size tire?

Thanks!

i did that switch, it's pretty much a no brainer. more rubber on the road gives you more grip. (unless you live in upstate ny right now like it do), and then you'd need snow tires. but in general you won't have a problem with rubbing unless youre dropped pretty far. i have 205/50's on stock rims, i love them.
