Have a look at a tyre calculator. It will give you the percentage in diameter of different tyres.

So based on stock wheel:

My current 17" is 35mm bigger:

But spare 15" to put on is ONLY 6mm

So,
My spare set of 195/50R15 will fit??!!!!!

Yes???

Current 17"

Will the WHITE 15" (on the right) look ok on my lude?
Not to sporty is it?

205/50/15 and be done with it.

I always say it but speedo inaccuracy is such a small matter. Its insignicant compared to tyre wall IMO. Tyre wall is part of the suspension and you will see an improvment going to a bigger sidewall and small wheel.
