will it rub the inside fender? and will the wheel stick out of the fender?
another question i had was if i would be able to fit 205/50R15 tires on my 95 civic coupe without rubbing or turning issues? the car is droped 1.5inches and i have 195/50R15 tires on right now with no rubbing issues what so ever. just wondering if i could fit wider tires on there..
Since we're talking street tires for daily driving, stick with 195/50-15. I'm not sure about rubbing - it's very possible, especially on a lowered car. In addition, the 205/50-15 will make your car accelerate slower (like getting taller gears) and will make your speedometer and odometer inaccurate. The 195/50-15 tires are cheaper, too...

wider tire do help it's a "bigger foot print" lot more grip. try putting a civic si rim and tire on a cobra your gonna spin your *** off.

Having a wider tire is not the best idea for a daily driven car. Instead of buying a wider tire, spend that $ on a stickier tire in 195/50/15. Which is the proper size for your car.

Good call.
Also consider the Kumho Ecsta SPT if you want to spend about half as much as the F1. Both are very good tires.
