rims and tires question

i have a set of the 2000 civic SI rims on my del sol. the stock tires size are 195/55/15. my question is that can i use 205/50/15 or 195/50/15? which one is better? or should i just stick with stock size?
thx

205's will fit quite nicely under there and will add some rubber for traction and handling.

Re: rims and tires question (joeli27)

just depends on your ride height. i only have eibach sportlines, and would rub on some turns with 195/55. the 205/50s seem to work better for me.

im dropped about 2.25" in front and 2" in the back on coils w/ 205's and they only rub if i turn all the way and hit a big bump.
