Default Optimal tire sizes for a gs-r

Given the specific characteristics of the b18c1 (and the size of the wheelwell), what do you guys think is the optimal tire size for best straight-line performance ?
Right now I have 195/55/15s, and I was looking at getting some 225/50/15s. I noticed however, that the tires seemed really chunky and heavy, and even though it will improve my launch because of more surface area on the ground, I was thinking that it might bog me down on the take-off alot more, due to the lack of low end torque on the gs-r, combined with the sheer size of the tire. What is your guys opinion...should I go with something a little thinner like a 205, or will a 225 benefit my launch more ?
