Ive seen 205/50-15 tires fit with no problems on a eg but it kinda depends how low the car is

I had 205/50/15 on my eg and had some rubbing from the rears but I am lowered 1.5 inch. No problem with the 195/50/15

I've got 205-40-16's on my car. Only rubs a little on the rear if I've got passengers. I'm lowered 2-2.5" with camber correction, so rubbing is virtually never an issue.

Go with the 205s, you won't regret the advantages.
