I have 205/55  on 15x6.5 inch wheels (Falken GRB).
I think I'll go a touch lower profile as these
rub the front spoiler lip just a fraction.  The offset
on these wheels means that the track of the car is a bit
wider than stock too, which isn't helping with the
rubbing.

I think I'll try a 205/50 next time and not worry so much
about the gearing effects (the 205/55 was as close as I
could get to the height of the original 185/70-14 tyres).
