I have a set on my '08. They rub like hell in the rear at stock height on hard bumps when on a 15x6.5 wheel with a +40mm offset (sticks 15mm away from the car's center) when only a 160lb driver is inside.

I'd recommend sticking to the factory spec'ed 195/55R15 or go with 205/50R15 if you just looking for a wider tire to run.

^ There are some, I'd post some more but my internet is slow at the moment.

Back on the subject of the 205/55R15. What is/are your reason(s) for considering this size tire?

I want to use wide tires using the stock rim and stock suspension.

I'd go with 205/50/15, they're usually cheaper and there's more tire options.
