Default Upgrading Tires

Has anyone upgraded their standard 195/65-15 tires to a 205/60-15 size?

I'm concerned about clearance in the wheel wells. I'm not sure how much wider I am talking about here. Any advice?

Thanks guys for the input...will get new tires in spring, most likely the 205's - wish I had the dough to get some nice wheels but the chrome wheelcovers I bought suffice for now.

Mine are 215/60-15's & are almost exactly the same diameter as the origianal 195/65-15's. They are a bit wider & the chrome smoothie wheels (15x6) are set out slightly from stock but there are no clearance problems anywhere & the car has been lowered a little over an inch since the picture was taken..I'm thinking about going to 225/60-15's when these are gone.
