same with Super Aeros?

Super Aeros are 16x6.5 with a +27mm offset. From my calculations backspace should be close to 4.75. If I go into that direction as many have, should I use 195/55 tires instead of the wider 205/50? The former would be less than 1% larger overall diameter than the 195/60x15 currently on the car. The 205/50 however would only be 0.6% smaller diameter. This is much closer to OEM, but might it be more likely to rub due to the 10mm increased width? Or am I splitting hairs here?
This topic has been beaten to death on this forum for many years, and opinions on this question are as common as navels; Everybody has one. I include this question here because I welcome input.
