I think you would be totally fine with a 205/55/15 and a 2 inch drop with a
+40 or better offset

I agree; 205/55's should pose no rubbing problems at all (lowered or not) if you run AT LEAST a 40mm offset.

If you haven't dropped the car or don't plan to, then don't run 205/50's bcause they will look ridiculously tiny!

205 50 15 was 0.2% of my OEM size 14 inches

why get 205 55 when the 205 50 are perfectly made to fit there !

well, the base does come with 14's and you are correct, you can get other packages with 15 inch stock steelies and that I guess is what other people are referring to as the standard

I agree 205/50/15 is going to look quite small on stock suspension, I am lowered 2.8 in front and 2.3 in the rear and I wouldn't want 205/55/15 on my car, no way, I'd be rubbing big time for sure in the front
