15x7

I am about to buy some proline 15x7's, and I need to know what the best size tire would be to keep clearance with no rubbing.

What offset? Are you stock height? Do you corner aggressively? What are the roads like where you live? How much fender gap do you want?

Idk anything about offsets to be honest. I'm at stock height at the moment. I plan to lower about an 1.5' if possible. I don't like when there's a huge gap.

Without giving you a lesson on offsets, before you purchase the wheels - just make sure the offset is 35+, otherwise you may have issues with rubbing. If you are purchasing them used, 99% of the time it will be stamped on the back of the wheel.

Agree with the 205/50/15 recommendation, best size for maximizing grip, and much "sportier" tires available in this size.

Yes I drive aggressive. I live in Tennessee. Lots of curves and turns

Lots of variety, good side wall fit. Improved grip.
