It wouldn't damage your suspension as there is less rubber than your stock tires.

It will change your speedo a bit due to a change in overall tire circumference unless that circumference is listed as a stock size in the manual which I don't have handy right now

I ran 195/60r15s without issue. Switched to the stock 185/60r15 when I lowered my 07 sedan 2".

The 195s were more stable at highway speeds. I recommend 195s as long as your not planning on lowering your car too much.
