40% of 205 = 82
50% of 195 = 97.5

15"+3.8" = 18.8" diameter
17"+3.3" = 20.3" diameter

1" bigger overall.... you will notice it, and the wheel/tyre will be heavier!
If you're bothered about performance stick with a light weight 15" wheel and 195/45.
I'd need to work out the circumfrence difference of the two etc... you can do that
