Default need help with rub issue

so i got some wheels their 15x6.5 with an offset of +34 on 205/50/15 tires. when i put them on my car they were rubbing. my question is, could i run a smaller tire size without having to roll the fenders and quarter panels or makin them camber ? if so what is the tire size thati should be looking at ? thanks in advance

What kind of car is this for? On a '92-95 Civic, you should be using 195/50-15. And yes, they will give you more clearance, in diameter as well as tread width. I can't tell you exactly which offsets will work, but with the right offsets, 195/50-15 shouldn't rub, even if your car is moderately lowered.

205/50/15 w/ 34 ET will rub in the front when you do TURNS. I have one too on my EG2, but w/ a 35 ET, so I switched it to 195/50/15. No more rubbing when I do turns. And no fender rolling or camber kit.
