205-50-15's is perfect, in fact a lot of people buy that size as replacements

I had 205/50 ES100's on my stock wheels before, now I have 195/50, mainly because the ES100's are ALOT cheaper in that size vs. 205/50 (about $100 less per set), plus 195/55 ES100's were backordered at the time. The speedo is off a little more, but it's not a big deal, and the smaller tire gave me a noticeable increase in acceleration.

I prefer the 205/50/15 on my stock wheels because its a little wider than stock giving a little better grip and a little thinner sidewall so it doesn't look like balloon tires.

For snow tires you want to stay as narrow as possible, so that the contact patch will be long and narrow instead of short and wide, so 195/55-15, or even 185/55-15 if such a size exists. 185/60-14 on 14" wheels would probably be better, though.
