Tire size help

I have some 15x6.5 +38 rims. I am debating on 195/55 or 205/50. I am lowered on megan coilovers, but I am not really low. I am trying to go for a smooth and comfortable ride. Which one should I get?

I'm on 15x7 +35 wheels and 195/55 lowered with Tein S-tech springs I'd say it's almost as comfortable and smooth as oem, I haven't had any issues like rough ride and/or rubbing.

with those two sizes, you won't feel much difference for smooth and comfortable.
The 195/55 is just 0.3" taller than the 205.
