The 205-50-15 should be fine.

for a honda i would just got 205-50's, for my corolla's i would stretch some 195's, and thats not a stretch either. worry more about the tire itself, not the size. what wheels and what offset?

get a pair of used 205-50's mounted on and test drive them on the front and then on the back, if either rubs then buy 195-50's and roll your ****.

dont get 195s damn bicycle tire get 215 50's unless you car is slammed they wont rub especially some drag wheels 195 is not wide engough how do you go to the track with 195's. the width is not what you have to whatch out for it is the heighth of the tire ie 50 go with the 215 you will not spin as hard as you would with the 195 ignore the other advice

uh width does matter with rubbing, but i guess not so much in the honda world no one gets a good enough offset to rub on the sides, thats why i said put on a 205 if they rub go smaller. and i think almost all corollas go to the track on 195's basically, we try and break traction in the rear, gotta remember that.
