will 205-50-15's rub w/ a 2in drop on a turn or full u turn?

 

most likely they will rub on a full u turn..i know mine do

 

how bad do they rub?

 

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

 

how much will it mes up my speedo? and ill have my psi almost to the max. im not a street racer so having low psi to launch doesnt bother me and plus u get better mpg.

 

not to sure but i know for a fact its gonna mess with it just go with the 55 series they're beetter

 

but i like how the 205 "protects" the rim

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.

 

i hardly have fat ppl in the car. nost of the time its just my gf and shes less me than me and i hardly bust u turns like 5 a month if that. but what about the speedo?

 

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