195/50/15 is the size you should have used. Toyos are sticky enough for your power. Any pics of the car? Maybe increase the height?

ET value of the rims? My EJ9 has worn out a set of inner fenders before... the EJ9 fender really needs higher ET values when lowering, something I still 'forgot' to do, but each now and then I regret it when going fast through slow corners.

With ET45 rims there will not be such a problem with tires 205/50 R15
But for 205/50R15 tires the rims width must be 6.5'' or better 7''

And here you can see how they are going in various tests

After some time I will write a nice review for them, but i have the impression that they feel good! ;)
Comparing to the s-drives, these have softer sidewalls (not to good for my likings) and I think they tend to block during braking, earlier. On slippery roads they feel more confident, they are more progressive and they squeak when they are close in loosing traction. I like that as the majority of tyres i had, lost traction without squeaking (the were V instead of H). On roads with great traction i think they are inferior maybe due to their being softer. Overall I think for their price (220e 4 set) they do their job well.
