i wanted a thin sidewall and agressive looking tire. That is why i ordered the 195/45/15. Should i have went with the 195/50/15 instead. Will i rub more or less, and will my fender gap be alot greater because of the thinner sidewall?

im not sure how to interpret that.
your on df210s but you wanna go lower?
uh....stick with the 55 series tire, itll look the best. but if you got coilovers....then rock 50 series.
well.....205/50/15 with the k106 tires i can say i never rubbed 1 bit.
my buddy ran 205/50/r15 with the neo gens,and hes rocking the df210s and he says he rubbs a bit.
im lower then him, its just the tire preference.

Your 195/45x15 tire will likely be ok on 38 mm offset simply because the tire is so tiny (21.9" OD vs 23.5") your fit will look like a grocery cart with a ton of 'air' over the tire.
If you lower your fit with thast same 195/45x15 tire you may just squeek by. But a 50 aspect probably won't.

I have wedsports 15x7 +38 offset running 205/50/15 tires, I had rubbing issues with stock springs with the back rubbing everytime i hit a bump or if had two passengers in the back it will constantly rub.
I took my car in to a body shop and had them trim off the quarter panel approx 12mm and the rubbing is completely gone. I'm running skunk2 lowering springs now and with the 2 passengers in the back, still doesnt rub.

I had the same problem with the stupid Eibach pro-kit. Same tire size but I am using 15x6.5" +45mm.

However, if you contemplate wider tires or dropping you should seriously consider wheels of no more than 7" width and 45 to 48 mm offset.
