You just might get away with it.
You are correct, typically, that you reduce your tire section by 5 mm but it is the tread width that will rub, not the section. 38 mm is 4 mm less than the minimum non-rubbing we know, without lowering, so theoretically you have a mm to spare. That is helped by your fitting 195/50x15 tires. They are only 22.67" diameter and stock 195/55x15's are 23.44". So that should add some clearance.
Measure your read width and if it is less than 6 and 1/8" inches I'd say you have a better than average chance of making it not rubbing. You will of course have a 3.3% error in your speedo and odo (reads higher than actual or original)but thats pretty reasonable.
PS where are you putting the camber bolts on the rear? I don't think you'll need them anyway front or rear.
Good luck.
