Alright. I just put the wheels on, with a set of 205/55/R15 BFGoodrich KDW 2s, and took it for a spin. New lugs too, will need to re-tighten. The ride is smoother and softer now, also gained half an inch of ground clearance due to taller rubber. Can't say about handling, was just an easy ride. Tires are clearly heavier than my old ones, but I still lost a lot of weight, so that's good. One thing that bothers me is that there's not a lot of clearance between the tires and struts in the rear. We're talking maybe a couple of millimeters, if that. No rubbing, but I'll probably get thin spacers still, so it doesn't rub when the tire flexes in under cornering.
Overall I'm fairly pleased.
The End.
