Winter Tyres/Wheel size

We have a 56 reg Skoda Roomster 1.9 tdi fitted with 205/45 R16 Bridgestone tyres on alloy wheels.

We are looking to buy and fit a set of winter tyres, also on alloy wheels, but wonder whether it is possible to use 195/55 R15 tyres in order to improve ride comfort.

You will obviously need a set of 15" wheels. But the brakes should clear.
