Well, I guess if you don't mind revving the motor more while cruising and
having your speedo off.... 205/50 is closer to the correct size and even that
is short of stock by a little bit.  I think most of us with the stock 15"
wheels run 205/50.  It's closer to the stock size/height and it's wider; wider
is better :)
