15x6.5 +42 with 205-50-15 ?

So I was looking into some buddy club SF wheels in 15x6.5 +42 for my GD3. I also want to put on some 205-50-15 tires on them, like Azenis or Neogen. But I was wondering if I would rub like shit... ? My car is drop on Eibach Sportline.

Thanks !

I was running that exact wheels with the same tire size on Tanabe GF springs. I rub when hitting big bumps. The Sportline is a lower drop so you will rub like shit. I later ran 195/50 and had no rubbing. SO run 195/50 if you don't want to rub.

I have a set of 15s by 6.5 with a +35 offset and with nitto neogens 205-50 and they rub only when i have people in the back and hit big bumps. Go with a 195 if u dont want isusues but the nittos are the way to go in my opinion. Im also on stock springs

The 205/50/15 is 23.1" in diameter and the 205/45/16 is 23.3 so the 16 is slightly bigger in diameter. You will rub on big bumps but nothing crazy. Trim your rear bumper mounting tabs and remove the screws/tabs on the very top of your front fender linings.
