Best tire size for 15 inch slipstream?

I know you can run 205 50 15s on 15 inch slips but my question is if you can go any wider without having problems with rubbing. These will be on an EG hatch. Thanks for the help guys.

Rubbing will probably depend on your suspension setup.

I have the ITR 5 lug conversion with Sprint lowering springs. What is the widest tire I can use with this setup?

i think it would be safe to stay at 205 max. also depends on your drop i guess, but i personally wouldnt go over 205. i'm running 195/50/15 on rotas they're perfect
