do both of these = 205/45 16?
or just one or the other, or neither?

185/65x14"
195/55x15"
205/45x16"
So the 205/50x15" are like .2" smaller than stock, which gives you better gearing, but your speedo is off by 1mph which is barely noticeable.

i must be the only one rolling the stock sized 195/55/15 tires! 
kumho ecsta supra 712's in the stock size, didn't want that speedo/odo error so that when i sell my car (which is now!) my odo wouldn't be off..

195/50/15
I just got some Goodyear F1's $72 each from tirerack. I was going to get 205's but the 195s were a lot cheaper because I think they were clearing them out. Very sticky tire. My 94 Si is stock. B4 I had Yoko Intermediate 195's. I went 195 because I read on some postings that 205's will rub (but I bet it's really minor). Alternatively, 205's would offer better curb protection though. I'd go for 205's next time if the price is right. Don't think grip will change much though (it's only 5% wider
