Sorry Mike, neither one is good. Go with 205/45/17 better ride and they will not rub.
by choosing 205/45/17 your speedometer diff will be less then 0.2 compared to the regular 195/60/15 tires.

you can do the calculations yourself if you like,

there is a link in this site, just go to tire size calculator in the middle of the page.

goodluck
