tire size that is closest to stock is 205/50-15 but even with rolled fenders and negative camber settings you still may rub depending on how low your car is.

Actually, 195/55-15 is closer to the stock size of 185/65-14, but either size (205/50 or 195/55) might work okay (and either one may rub, as you point out).

That's part of the issue, but offset matters too. Either of those tire sizes can be mounted on 15x7 rims, and either should work - as long as your rims have the right offset for maximum clearance in the wheel wells. I'm not that familiar with which offsets work best - maybe Opossum Jenkins can answer that question.

cool thanks for the help... so will a 15x7 +25 offset with a 205/50 15? just all depends on ride height and a little camber?

it will fit but will rub without major camber and rolled fenders
