225/50 = 112.5 mm sidewall height
205/55 = 112.75 mm sidewall height
They are almost identical. This will not make the car any noticeably lower. What is the width of the wheel though? You may not have that extra protection from curbs and such. Is there any reason for going from a 225 to 205? If the factory recommendation is 225/50, I would just stick with that.
