Default How fat before they rub? (tires)

Tire question:

I've been doing some research to find out how wide I can go. I know that 225s require a bit camber, fender "rolling" and spacers. I'm not really interested in going that route. However I'm considering going from what I'm running now, 195/55/14 VictroRacers to 205/55/14s, but read somewhere that this could even cause some rubbing. Is this true?

More info: Tires are mounted on 14x7 Borbet Type Ts and fitted to a CRX Si for track and autocross events. (The car is fitted with an Eibach Pro Kit and Koni single adjustables.)

Thank you for your input!

We've tried the Victoracers in 205-55-14 on 14x6.5 (30 offset) rims and no rubbing that i'm aware of. 2" lowered on OTS Konis... Granted this was just for a half-day test-n-tune and we have since switched to 235-45-13s... You should be ok though...

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm about 90 percent sure this is what I want to do, but I'd rather have some input before I spend the money. Then wind up having to miss an event or something.
