Re: will these tires rub? (egcoupe)
not that bad i mean you only do a u-turn for a couple second so its not like they are rubbing the whole time your driving..i think youll be ok..but your problem is going to be getting the 50 series..its gonna mess with your speedometer and your gonna hav to run a high psi to hold the cars weight..thats what the tire experts told me 
....i would suggest you get 195/55/15..thats wut i got

I can vouch for that. I have 205-50's n my slips and I park my car with the tires touching the curb always and I have yet to scratch them.
I get some minor rubbing when im at full lock, when cornering hard in a sharp turn or when I have a heavy passenger in my car wile turning somehwat aggressive. Its not an issue unless you cant stand the sound of a occasional rub.

205/50/15 and 195/55/15 are the two options depending on the width of your wheel i'd choose one of those.
