I'll try both sizes of wheel before I order tires, and post up what I find out about the fitment of 15s.

You may wish to also consider the impact on your comprhension of the speed vs. speedometer readout.
According to my reference when comparing 215/45R-17 with 215/55R-17, this would mean that when the speedometer reads 100kph the car would be travelling 106.9 kph. Thats relatively quite different.
195/60R-16 gives 100 speedo = 102.4
195/55R-16 gives 100 speedo = 99.3
205/55R-16 gives 100 speedo = 101.1
Everyone I have talked to says 15" wheels are too small. Maybe there are some out there that fit, but how hard is it to find them and acquire them?
