I have a 2010 3 door lowered on Tigertec's with stock shocks/struts. I am putting on a set of Konig Lightspeeds that are 15x6.5 +38. I was going to use the stock tires now I am going to buy new tires. I can't decide between 195/55, 205/50, or 205/55. I never have any passengers in my car and will be installing a subwoofer enclosure in the hatch but removing the spare when I do so. opinions. thanks

Performance wise...what is better, the 195/55 or the 205/50?

195/55R15 is the closest to stock. I have that size on my Yaris and love it.

The 205/50 is the least expensive and there are more options but it will have more fender gap than the factory tires. The 195/55 is closer to stock but still a little smaller diameter. The 205/55 is slightly larger than stock and would fill in the wheel well better but I am afraid it might rub.
