195/55/15 will keep a square-er sidewall than a 205/50/15. Depending on the 205/50/15 tire you may get some "dish" effect. I run 205/50/15 Potenza SO3's on my Si wheels and I have no problems.
I think you will be OK with 205/50/15's they are more common sizes anyways. Just forgo the Nitto 450's......they pretty much suck *****.
