Good luck with that. As far as I can tell the only 15" size that the GS-D3 comes in is 195/50-15. However as spoonracer stated 205/50-15 or 195/55-15 is the more appropriate size.
How much of a difference is it? Well it will be about 3.3% (0.55") smaller than stock. Is this unsafe? No. Will it cause damage to your car? No. It will, however, cause your speedo and odometer to over read by a few percent. You will also experiance higher RPMs at highway speed. In my opinion it is not that big of a deal. 1/2" is difference from a new tire to a tire that is almost bald.
Either go with it or maybe we can find you another suitable tire that comes in your size. Your choice.
Cheers.
