Just picked up Acura EL wheels...205s fitment Q
This is for my 00 Civic Coupe...
Will 205/50R15 rub to much in the front when turning? My other option is 195/55s but they cost more than 205/50s. 195/50s are about the same price as the 205s but that size it too small for my 1.8" dropped car. Anybody have pics of 205s with OEM 15" Acura or Honda wheels?
Thank you very much!

Get the 195/55-15. It will maintain the accuracy of your speedometer and odometer.
What kind of tire are you planning to get? With most tires that come in both sizes, 195/55-15 is less expensive than the 205/50-15, not more. For example, the Yokohama ES100 is $61 for 195/55-15, but $75 for 205/50-15 (at the Tire Rack).

I was planning to get Falken Zeix 512s. 205s are H rated($53) as opposed to V rated 195/55s($66)

Well, I would still get the 195, but it's your choice. I guess you're looking for all-season tires because winter's coming...? If you live where winter is bad, you might want to get an extra set of steel wheels and a set of real winter tires. Lots of winter tires come in 195/55-15.
The 205 probably won't rub; although it's wider than 195, it also has a smaller outer diameter.
