For what purpose? If you are tracking or autocrossing a Civic/Integra on DOT tires, you'll want a 225/45-15.

A summer street tire? For just street driving, or what? What car is this for?

15x8 is overkill for any street tire that will fit under a Civic or Integra.

At this point I'd say a 205/50 Azenis would be your best bet . . . unless you **** money and are inclined to run 225/45 Toyo RA1s on the street.

Went with a 205/50- dunlop.
Tires are nice and that was the perfect size.
No rubbing.

Thanks

205/50-15 tires are not approved for use on 15x8 wheels. The approved range of rim widths (for example, for the Dunlop Direzza DZ101) is 5.5-7.5 inches.
