Rim & Tire sizes 120-130

I have followed recent discussions here about widening stock rims. I will be doing this too. Most people seem to want to widen the original 4" rims to 6". I was thinking about going to just 5.5" The reason is that I am planning on using 185/65 or 195/65 tires. According to tire specifications 5.5" rims will handle all the way up to 205/65. I figure slightly narrower rims will reduce the possibility of clearance problems. Is there anything wrong with my thinking?
