Rubbing with 205s?
I really need to know if anyone has rubbing issues with 205/50/15 tires with a stock suspension. I have a 99 Civic EX Coupe and am deciding between stock size 195/55/15 and 205/50/15. I am running 96 Integra GSR wheels. PLEASE HELP!!

I am running 205/50-16 with H&R OE Sport Springs (.75 drop)
Hardly ever rubs, only on the really hard bounces (these springs arent all that stiff)
Dont think it ever rubbed when I had the stock suspension

That's funny...I was running 205/50/16s (Falken) and they rubbed on hard cornering and when I had 4 people or lots of weight in the car. This was with stock suspension. Any other opinions? Thanks guys!

no your car will not rub. even if your car is dropped...the 'butterfly' effect will tuck your tires inside the fender walls nicely. i'm had 205/50/15's on some GSR webs and they never rubbed once. and that was with neuspeed sport springs w/99 teg struts on my hatch.

Yep, no rubbing on my 205/50-15 tires on stock GS-R wheels, and I'm lowered a pretty significant amount, too.
205/50-16 will probably have some problems because the tire is too big.

I'm running 205/50x15" Falken Azenis tires on 15x7" wheels with 45mm offset and I don't rub and Azenis tires are actually 215/50x15" or even 225/50x15"

Re: Rubbing with 205s? (quik2kSi)
what about rubbing with205/55/15 on Si rims with Eibach sportline springs about 1.8" drop?
Why don't you just get 205/50-15? 55's will make your acceleration slower by lowering your effective final drive.

my friend has 205/55 15"s on 95 GSR wheels lowered on skunk2 adjustable springs. the car is practically slammed and only the rears rub on the inside edge along the body. as far as the fronts, they rub the fender lip when making sharp turns
