Pretty sure it will work.
I have the 205's on my 96 GSR rims with no problems. Im sure their the same width.
I would not use a 205/55/15. To tall.

I have 205-50-15's on my 96 GSR wheels.
Lundgren is right, 205-55-15 is too tall.

I've got 205/50ZR15s on OE GSR rims. They work fine. A wider rim would be better though.
I'm running RE730 205/50/15s. Grip is more a function of tire compound. You're getting into race compounds to be able to take advantage of a wider tread than the 205.
P.S.
My Re730s have gotten pretty noisy at 30-50 mph. So far, they are the best combination of wet & dry traction as well as cheaper than my last set (Dunlop 9000s). I don't know if I'll put up with the noise on the next set.
I run 205/50R15s as well. Great tire size for the stock rims.

My wheels are the same size as GSR wheels. I'm running 205/55/15's which are in fact a little tall like lundgren said. I knew I needed 50's instead of 55's but who would turn down 4 new michelin pilot's for $25.00/piece http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif You'll be fine with 205/50/15's.
