The lighter weight can be felt while driving. When Pirelli ushered in the era of low profile tires with the P7, you could get your 7 x 15 and 8 x 15 wheels fitted with 205/50 and 225/50 tires. It was something you saw on the early 3.0 turbos, before Porsche introduced the 16 inch Fuchs. So, a gearing advantage is available, too. Porsche even fitted those cars with a speedometer calibrated to the shorter tires.
15" tires are a little tougher to find these days, but not impossible.
