I have them on my wife's 04 ZTW - no issues, no problems, no big difference but in fact, because they are a more popular size they are usually a bit less expensive than the smaller 205-50-16s.
The difference compared to stock:
1) the ride is a bit softer
2) they do fill out the wheel wells a bit better
3) larger circumference - 77.3" vs. 75.6" for stock
4) fewer tire RPM per km - 509 vs. 521 for stock
5) speedo registers a bit slow - indicated 100 kph = roughly 103
6) your odo will be off by the same amount - roughly 3.3%
