Which wheels can I fit to a SEAT Altea?

I have a Seat Altea XL Stylance 19. TDi with 205/55/R16 wheels and have the opportunity to get a set of 195/65/R15 wheels. The motivation is my rims are very corroded and the free set is in brilliant condition (and as a bonus the tyres on the 195's are still very good as well).

Is there is difference in circumference between these two sizes and would it make a significant difference if I put the 15-inch wheels on?

The circumference should match almost perfectly, and the basic Altea 1.9TDI was on 15-inch wheels so they must fit around the front brakes and callipers.
