What kind of car (year, model, version, body style)?

And what is this "bubble" you speak of?

Answer in English, please, without those annoying text message abbreviations.

195/50-15 is the best 15" tire size for your car. 205/50-15 is a bit too big; however, it shouldn't rub, unless you have lowered your car a ridiculous amount (in which case you should raise it back up) or unless your wheels have the wrong offset for your car, or unless there is something else wrong with your car (like a bent suspension component).

Sounds like it will go away if you switch to 195/50-15.
