Mixing 195 14" wheel with a 205 15" ?

My front-wheel drive car has P205/65R15 all season tires. I have an unmounted pair of 195/70R14 snow tires on wheels.
While they`re both 5 lug, do 14" wheel lug holes align with 15" ?
Assuming I can get them mounted, is 195 to 205 enough difference to really screw up stability. I`ll just use them for city driving. (i.e. less then 45mph)
Any advice appreciated.

Size wise there`s not much difference

As far as whether they will fit on your car the wheel size doesnt matter, the bolt pattern matters. As far as your speedometer is concerned the wheel size WILL matter, so keep that in mind. I have 185`s mounted on 15 x 5.5`s on the fronts and 215`s mounted on 15 X 7`s on the back of my bug but I`m sort of going for that bigger in the back look. Handles fine.

taurus, new had 16" wheels. Went to change and found that the 15" hit the brake rotors on the new car. Cost me 4 new tires and 4 new rims to make the change last fall.

about mixing two snow tires with two all season tires. The snow tires will have less grip in the dry and more grip in the snow. Assuming you put the snows in front on the driven wheels you`ll wind up with a car that tends to understeer in the dry and oversteer in the snow. If you`re only doing easy city driving you probably won`t notice a problem in the dry, but you could very easily run into a problem in the snow.

When I bought the snow tires, [for a previous vehicle] even though they were size matched, the seller said just putting a pair on the front would cause problems. Don`t know what would have happened at high speed on a rainy Interstate, but did a lot of snow covered parking lot tests. Throwing car into a turn and slamming on brakes - car behaved same as with 4 all seasons. Suspect the anti-lock brakes mitigate some of the mixed [front/back] tire problems about mixing two snow tires with two all season tires. The snow tires will have less grip in the dry and more grip in the snow.

car would behave on the previous vehicle. You`ll probably want to do a similar test on the current vehicle since you`ll be mixing them with different rear tires.
In spite of the results of your test I really do believe 2 snow tires is a risky proposition and I don`t recommend it. See the link below for more information on the topic:

handling by fitting different width tyres? My Bravo is a slight understeerer (although I`ve had the tail drift once, on a greasy roundabout) on its 185s all round; since it has a space-saver spare, is there any good reason I shouldn`t go to 195 front with 185 rear or 185/175, to improve the balance?
I`m particularly after limit handling in damp conditions; having changed from a Peugeot, I know I`m comfortable driving very `pointy` cars.
