Have heard opinions both ways. I dont want to roll the fenders or use wheels spacers or anything. Car has 112k on it with new KYB struts and shocks. Anyone have 205/50-15's all the way around without problems? Wheel I'm thinking of using is the Kosie K1 wheel with a +17mm offset. Thanks.

i had cut springs that lowered my car bout 2 inches and the fender rubbing was minimal if any. im sure with stock suspension it shouldnt be an issue. one of my tires did rub on the inside when the wheel was completely turned but it wasnt much. also, one side in the front it barely rubbed on the spring perch/stand/support thingie.

The concern you have is the inside of the fronts. I run 225s in the back, sometimes even wider. I'm not sure about the 17mm offset being the same as stock, but if it is, you might get away with. I have Tokico struts and Suspension Tech 1" drop springs up front and run 195/50-15s with about 1/2 inch of tire clearance. Your offset and ride height is what you have to figure out. Depending on those 2 you can probably get your 205s to work.
