Default wanted to double check before changing wheels

i have a 1999 civic coupe ex which is all stock and wanted to upgrade from the standard 185/65/14 tires and wheels to 205/50/15 tires and wheels. would any problems result from this? would i have to put new rotors, brakes or suspension? any and all advice is appreciated. unrelated question; is there any way to maintain the suspension like lubing up the springs or something? thanks.

yeah, a direct swap will be fine, just remember that with that swap you will actually be going a bit faster than you are seeing on your speedo. When it says that you are going 60, you are really going 61, haha.
