Was just trying to save money again--dayam, why am I so cheap? But it turns out there are LOTS of good 205/50 choices so that what I'm getting! Springs/shocks next!

205/50/15 is my #1 choice on this car. It will only slightly thow the speedo and the odo at 10000 will likely read 10300 not enough to make any difference for me. It just looks right to me. you will want a good drop though because you'll be dealing with an extra 1/2 inch of wheel gap so I would suggest DF's or Coilovers or Tein springs. Just something to consider. I got my Basics today and I am drooling over them right now.

Hell, the factory 15" OEM versus 14" OEM tires have more of a difference than that. 10000 on the 15" factory tires would read as 10400ish on the 14" factory tires.
