Default is this true?

another question i had was if i would be able to fit 205/50R15 tires on my 95 civic coupe without rubbing or turning issues? the car is droped 1.5inches and i have 195/50R15 tires on right now with no rubbing issues what so ever. just wondering if i could fit wider tires on there..

Since we're talking street tires for daily driving, stick with 195/50-15. I'm not sure about rubbing - it's very possible, especially on a lowered car. In addition, the 205/50-15 will make your car accelerate slower (like getting taller gears) and will make your speedometer and odometer inaccurate. The 195/50-15 tires are cheaper, too...

Is what true?

The only question I see that you asked is about fitment.
Yes, 205/50/15's fit easily!

Everything else you said was basically a statement.

No. Unless you're using some crazy offset or something, 205's should work fine if you're only dropped 1.5".
