If I put 1955015 tires on 15x7.5 wheels will they rub against the fenders when lowered?

 

You might be able to get away with it w/ correct offest, rolling the fenders etc. You might just want to save yourself and go with a 6 or 6.5 in wide wheel, which is much more appropriate for 195/50/15.

 

195/50-15 is the proper 15" tire size for your car. However, that size is usually NOT approved for mounting on a 15x7.5 wheel. Stick with 15x6 or 15x6.5.

 

will 205/50/15 work well on 15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels?

 

i'm running a 205/40/16 tire on a 16X7 wheel on my eh2 and they almost look streached... i dont think that 195 tire would look good on a 7.5 wide wheel

It depends on the car. On an Integra or '97-00 Civic, yes. On a del sol or CRX or pre-'95 Civic, no.

 

Thereason why I ask is because I bought some drag DR20 wheels that were supposed to be 15x7 but when I received them they were 15x7.5. The company I bought them from said that there was a mistake and that they only come in 15x7.5 with +38 offset.

backspacing is 5.75 on the 7.5 and your stock backspacing is 5.02 you tell me where it is going to rub

Not to mention it would have more rolling resistance and drag, making the car slower in a straight line.
