Default tire clearance issues

i have a 95 eg coupe with bwr full one piece coil overs and i have rota attacks 15x6.5 with a 40mm offset with a 195/50/15 tire i keep adjusting them and im still having rubbing issues. im not all that fond of offset b/s so all i really need help. Atm i have a 2.5" drop is this to low for these wheels and tires and if so what is the proper drop for these wheels and also since these tires i have now are almost junk just i am deciding to go with a 195/40/15 soon what would the diffrence be lowering wise between the two tire sizes cuz i would like a more streched tire look

The proper drop would be one where you experience no rubbing issues. Period.

Well if you want to stretch your tire, which is highly not recommended, you have to lower the tire size not the profile. I don't even think any tires exist to stretch out on a 6.5 wheel if they don't you should just buy new wheels at least 8" wide and the 195 size will definitely stretch the **** out of your tires. As for the rubbing, you should get your fenders rolled.
