Default tire size advice

sup guys i just bought some xxr 522 15x7 for my EF and the rim fits flush with the fender but it sticks out a little.. i tried to fit them on with some 205/50/ 15 but the wheel was too fat and big so it would rub the fenders nasty. so i got rid of those, and i want to try some 165/55 OR some 155/65 OR 155/60. which of these would be better?? or if you guys have any suggestions that would be cool

185/50/15 if you can get a hold of them.

Roll your fenders.

Trust me roll the fenders it'll give you tons more clearance.
If you don't want to roll them get other wheels.

He's right fender will need to be rolled but with that offset and specs stock camber will do jus fine.
