Has anyone put 205/50/15 on the stock nb wheels, they come 195/50/15 stock
How would it effect the car going a size wider all around ?
Hurt performance ?
Hurt Gas Mileage ?
Throw off speedometer ?
Reason i'm asking, I'm getting 4 brand new tires in this size for under $300 mounted balanced and installed.
Here's the differences from the Discount Tire website... http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
Personally I don't think you'll notice any different between a 205 vs the 195.

People put 205/50's on all the time. On a DD car I don't think it really makes a difference.
My DD's are 205/50-15's and my AX tires are 205/50-15's on stock NB wheels. my previous DD tires on the NB were 195/50-14's. Can't say that I noticed any big difference as far as gas mileage, speedometer, etc. I notice more of a change based upon the rating of the tires. my higher performance RE-11 AX tires have a much stiffer sidewall than me Falken 912 DD tires.
I guess ill put the 205's on then, im getting a good deal i dont wanna pass it up, and i daily drive the car anyway not like its gonna matter too much
Here's first generation Azenis 205/50-15 on '97 15x6 STO wheels. I had no issues with them.

I've always put 205's on that wheel for my daily. It works fine, no noticable change in the speedo.
