if you use 205/50x15 tires on an 08 you will likely have rubbing issues with 38 mm offset, ptrobably with 40 and the minimum you can get by with is 42, although 45mm is safest on a dropped suspension. The 15x6.5 is perfectly good to use with 205 section tires.
The offset counts most: with a 38 mm offset you are pushing the tire out 3/4" and a 205 is about 1/5" wider so you're looking at the tire moving out abn inch. Even though the tire is slightly less diameter (which helps in the acceleration and mpg departments)..
