Default Tires on V70 205/50 R15

Does anybody think these tires will cause problems on stock 15 wheels v70? OEM calls for 195/60 R15 I was thinking of putting on 205/50 R15 It would be roughly the same tire with a little more meat I think. Any ideas comments?

If you go with the 205/50 you will lose about 4.55 cm per rotation. I don't know if this will help with acceleration but your speedo will be off just a tad. A 205/55 will be a better match for size. Or..... go for the 225/50. You may need a wider rim, though. I don't know if 225s will cause any rubbing issues.
