well I want to tuck my wheels or get close to it, and with a 60mm drop on 205/50/15's I rub all the time. Im eating my tires away like crazy, and cannot afford to keep buying new tires all the time so when I purchase my new ones I would like to no longer rub. Also I have rolled my arches and that helps a little but I not like it to rub at all.

Re: narrowest tire i can run on 15's (dubster-11)

What offset is your rims? I have 15x6.5" rims with a 40mm offset and a 60mm drop. I run 195/45 Michelins and I have never had any rubbing even without rolling the arches.
There is only a select few manufacturers that make the 45s such as what I have, Dunlop, Yokohama, Toyo and a couple others I think.

Since the 205/50-15's are 23" tall which is .3"s taller then stock I'm not surprised they rub. You could probably get away with 195/50-15's and if you really want a low look then go for the 195/45-15's. I think they are about 22.4"s tall. Stock is 22.7".
