205/50/15 tires on a 15X5 wheel. Ok or don't recommend it?

How about 195/55/15 instead?

I have 15x6 wheels which came with 195/55's. I replaced them with 205/50's with no problem. Since your wheels are narrower, you should probably try the 195/55's.

Yep, 195 on a 5" is even pushing it a bit. 205, no way man. I run 195/60R14 on my 14x5 barely hehe.

I wouldn't go any wider than a 185 on a street driven car. 185/55/15 isn't very common, but anything else would be too wide IMO.
