Your stock size was 195/60-15, going to a 205/55-15 will leave you 1.4% too fast (60 mph indicated will be 57'ish actual mph) according to my calculator, so not a huge difference there on the speedo. As noted your odo will bump up a bit prematurely.
That size should mount with no trouble to your stock 15x6.5 inch alloy.
Would make for a nice improvement handling wise more than likely too with the slightly lower profile and increased width.
If you want to tinker with tires sizes in relation to your original size this is a super handy site:
