I currently have 195 55 16, anyone know if I'd get away with 205 55 16. They are so much cheaper!

You need to check the width of your rims to make sure 195 isn't already at the limit for that size. The tyre will be 10mm wider and slightly taller so there is (probably slight) risk of fouling on the arches or bodywork. You need to check your specific wheels and car but you can probably get away with it.
Unless you've lowered your car severely (or already is very low) there should be plenty room under the arches to accommodate these, however it would throw your speedometer out marginally as the radius is slightly larger. If you took middle digits (tyre wall) down to 50 it would be unnoticeable on the clock, just need to see if they do that size

probably.
We have an 07 peugeot 207 as above 195's were fitted standard but we found them a lot more expensive.
I asked a mate the above question and he confirmed that 205's would fit fine - which they do.
No rubbing or catching and it fills the arch better and in my opinion smoother handling but slightly worse but also negligible fuel consumption.

They'll fit perfect, practically no difference at all.
As for balancing, the tyres on this were balanced normally. Youtube

Yes that will be fine, the difference in diameter is just 1.7% which shouldn't be a problem unless the car is lowered or the clearance around the current tyres is very low.
Completely agree. I always get the 'alignment' call. Sounds much more impressive than 'tracking'. After a polite 'no thanks' they usually accept defeat.
In fairness to them they've always been polite & helpful, prices are usually the lowest I can find.

The difference between the 2 sizes are usually within spec , most manuals will state different tyre sizes for 16in. My almera takes 195 or 205 on 16in, both 55 or 50 profile is permitted but the 55 will be slightly more off on the speedo than with the 50. There are sites which tell you what size can be fitted and what percentage difference from the original.

A tyre size calculator like this one is helpful to work this out:

195 55 16 for 46 , but not fitted. can usually get done for about 10 a corner at local garages.
