205/50/15's will work just fine, works for me. I don't have any pics comparing the two sizes though. Still, I would go with the 205/50/15's

Putting a little more rubber on the groud is probably good for your traction. As long as people give the for fitment, i'd say the 205s

I have the mesh wheels and just put 205/50's on there and they seem great. This is on a 90 civic and rubbing is not a problem..

I own a 96 GSR. on the Street I run 205 50 15 and on track days and auto x days I run 225 50 15. I only get rubbing on the 225's under full turn and full roll. The 205's are perfect for street racing and daily driveing.

For the love.... If I'd chose between those 2, definatly 205, I like 215's more myself. Remember that every tire company uses these sizes, but they can vary +/- 1cm in width. 205 comes in a better variety of sizes and brands.

Go with the 205.

Any no honda owner knows what real torque is. I built a 12 sec LS VTEC, it only had 134lb/ft Not a stump puller by any means....
