Tire size on 15"?
Well, I picked up some new rims, 15" slipstreams, and I was wondering what size is considered low profile? I had a pair of 16" konig heliums, they were 205/45/16, what should I get for these 15" rota slipstreams? I liked how the tires sat on my EK, but I didn't like how big the rims were, so I went smaller.

No, and it will offer slightly shorter overall "gearing" (almost like swapping final drives), but you'll also have an inaccurate speedometer and odometer. Fender gap will be a bit larger too, but nothing severe.

It depends upon the wheel, the specific tire (some 205's are wider than others), the car, and the suspension setup.

You can use a GPS unit, or time/distance calculation.
If you're using the proper tire size though, you shouldn't have an issue.

I rather scrape the tire than curb my wheel, accidents happen.
195/50/15's is what I most commonly see but, I prefer 205's.
