Tire size for my 99 EK hatch??

[quincyb11]

What do you think guys?? 195/50r15's, 195/55r15's or 205/50r15's on my 99 ek hatch?? I planning on lowering my car so I don't want any rubbing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Depending on the offset of the wheels and how low you go...I would run a 205/50-15

Well I'm planning on dropping it a couple inches. The offset is +45. I think 205/50r15's might rub... what do you think?
Thanks for the post!!

205 shouldn't rub.

I'll either go with 205/50r15 or 195/50r15's :)

195/50/15 is the wrong size for an EK. 195/55/15 would be the right size.

Really? What will happen if I use that tire size? I know a guy that had them on his ek coupe but I'm not sure if he was having any problems with them.
