205/50R15s may work so long as you don't hit a very hard bump, a deep dip, or have a heavy load on. If that bothers you, you would be better off getting some 195/55R15s.
I'm running 205/55R15s with stock springs and I rub at all 4 corners due to the tire being taller and wider than the 195/55R15s on hard bumps and deep dips.
For me, tucking the fender liner fixed the front rubbing and in the rear I just let it rub on the bumper's tabs, just about a centimeter shy of the screw holding the bumper up.

ya i wuldnt go any more then a 205 50 series, i have nitto 205-50-15 on +35 wheel offset, i never rub in the front but in th back is a different story, i have to shave the back plastic bumper and rolled the fenders a little bit and put two sets of spring rubbers just so it wuldnt rub in the back wen theres people or heavy stuff in the back, if u want there to be less rubbing go with the 195 but if u want a little wider than stock and may have to do some stuff to get it to not rub than go with the 205s. but if u do go with the 205s then get the spring rubbers first before doing anything bec that was the most help for me

You guys must be running some goofy offsets to be rubbing on 205s with stock suspension height! I'm dropped on Skunk2s with 10mm spacers in the back on 205-50s and have never rubbed at all. This is stock wheels BTW...

I barely rub in the rear and seldom in the front without tucked fenders due to having a taller 205/55 (approximately 24" O.D.) opposed to the shorter 205/50 (approximately 23.2" O.D.) with my 15x6.5 ET+40.
