195 seem to give me faster launches and is more stiffer while when I went 205, they grip a whole lot better on turns, but seem to have more tire flexing going on so the ride is smoother but doesn't have the responsiveness of the 195's.

The 205's probably won't rub with that offset. I had 35 offset and it rubbed after I lowered it 2.5inches, but I rolled the fenders really good in the back and they don't rub anymore. 35mm offset is hugely wide. Fronts don't rub at all.

I have an 1989 Hatch. Which tires? 205/50 or 195/50.

I have CP-F wheels and want the rim to be protected. The car will be lowered 1.75-2.5 front and rear. I'm worried the 205s will rub.
go with 205/50 or 195/55.
