If you are lowered at all the 205 on 15in Konig Rewinds amy rub under very hard cornering in the front at the top forward edges of the fenders, a slight roll will fix it.

I have a huge *** gap on the rims im on right now and they stick out past the fender . This is how my 15\" Konig five spokes looked. There was a good gap there . As you can tell they stick out beyond the femders about 5 mm
I thought you had rewinds based on the first post. Not sure how those do on fitment with the 205 tires.
The konig 5 spokes have 205's already. I swapped the wheels on them to my rewinds . They clear the springs by less than 5 mm . 195 are 100% the go to for rewinds on a SA but 205 works .
Good call Frogman. If your SA is lowered at all then the 205/50x15 tires on the Rewinds will rub on the front fenders under hard driving. A slight roll on the edges will fix it but 195 would probably fix it up too.

They fit without rubbing thankfully but im sure they hit the springs under a hard bump . Lowered they wont fit 100% as you said
Looks like the Konigs are +20mm offset.... I am running 15x7+20mm and run staggered: 195/50/15 up front and 205/50/15 in rear. Sort of like the staggered look.. the rears are a bit meatier and the fronts look nice with a bit of camber.
My car is lowered on coilovers and no rubbing issues. it also isn't super low... more of a functional lowered.
This pic makes front look more tucked in than they are.

Same offsett , the Rewinds clear the springs by almost nothing on the 205's . If you have a stock SA like me go for this set up !
One could argue that if you have lowered the car, you don't care about handling because lowering makes 1st gens handle like crap, so run whatever.
I've run 225/50s on 15x7 zero offset wheels (Koseis) with no rub issues.
Same^ involved carefull offset choice and camber though.
and i have to tell ya, the steering and handling were a night and day improvement when i switched from 225/45 to 195/50 on the fronts. This was in a 400rwhp+ fb tho. Kept 225's on rear.
on a near stock car with7" rims i would probaly go 195's all round. They just look better on 7" and are a better suited size for these cars in a decent tire.
