I'd be interested to hear about how that size fits once you get the tires on the car. It should work OK with a stiff sidewall. I ran 205/55/15 Bridgestone RE71 (140AA), and they looked like they were all the 15x6 Turbo wheel could handle safely for width. The RE71's didn't last very long, so I'm about to mount a set of 205/50 Kumho 712's. I don't expect the same level of grip as before, but they shouldn't be too bad. I wish I had waited so I could have bought a set of 205/50 Falken Azenis Sport, but it's too late for me. Some tires I like just from reviews and specs alone are:

Kumho MX
Dunlop FM901
Falken Azenis Sport
Bridgestone Potenza RE730
