Default Best sized tire for slammed civic 15x6

Need new tires and I'm wondering what sized tire works best on a slammed em1. I just lowered it on pretty worn 185/60. Right now it has pretty minimal rubbing, only rubs on hard slow turns. I'm basically wondering what your running on your 15x6 wit a slammed setup. I'm thinking maybe sum tin wit a slightly smaller sidewall. Sry if this sounds noob, just looking for ideas.

Your car dictates tire size. You should avoid running anything that's outside 3% of the overall tire diameter of your stock tire size (listed inside the door jam) which is 195/55/15. 205/50/15's would be 1.6% undersized. 185/60/15's are 1.26% oversized, so the 205's would be a 2.86% smaller height tire (which equate to .67 inches overall tire diameter).
