Gear ratios 205/50/15 vs 195/50/15

195/50R15 will be a cheaper tyre, which is the main motive for moving to 15 inch wheels.
As far as changes to the rolling radius of the wheel go, I'd be very suprised if you'd be able to tell. https://tiresize.com/calculator/

Granted different tyres but 205/45/16 and 195/50/16 was night and day. The 195s were so long, would be okay for a turbo. Thats why I ask, because the 195/50/15 seems too small

I sent you a link to a calculator that can work out the theoretical differences between tyre sizes. You can then decide what you want to do.
Mine lives on its 15s I can't really be bothered to chuck the 16s back on it. They don't feel too small, the Clio is hardly a long distance cruiser anyway.

70 mph @ 4,000 rpm?
You probably have got one of PMS`s 5th gear sets installed.
