Default What size tires for Civic? 205 or 195

Wheels are 15x7, going on an EK. I'm still debating on the 195/50 or 205/50, which is better? Leave me your opinions or feebacks

Depending on how low your car is. I had 205 Azenis and they rubbed against the fender.

I run 205/50/15 Azenis and I don't experience rub. I, however, have no drop. I can see where they might rub with a significant drop (> 1 inch)

i had 215/50's on my 15x7's. they rubbed like a bitch. then i switched to 205/50 in the rear and eliminated a lot of the rubbing. and the front only rubbed when i turned the wheel to lock both ways.

215's looked really nice, they lined up right with the fenders

I would get 205's and if it rubs just cut away at that annoying lip that will just rust out anyways.
