Default Tire Size?

What the widest tire I should put on my 15x6.5 rims? My car is a 92 Civic DX hatch and it's dropped 2.3 inches. Right now I have some 195-50-15's on there, but would like some wider tires but only if they don't look weird on my wheels and don't rub.

None of those mention whether they're used on a 15x6.5 rim. I know people have put them on 15x7's, but mine are 15x6.5

195/50/15 is the only size for you. They don't make anything like 205/45 or 205/40. Plus, with the drop you got, 205/50/15 would rub. If you are looking for more grip, there are better tires at that size. Wider tires does not always equal better performance.

damm...so 205/50/15 would rub with a drop more then 2"? even with some negative camber? not much, but just a little, say like .5-1 degrees.
****...i was lookin the get the azeins for my Si's, but if they really do rub, then ill have to get some other tires, what would you recommend?
