shop will tell me for sure if i can cram the 205s onto those stock rims.

But in your case, I think that you could put a bigger sidewall tire on there (newer civics can handle bigger sized tires).

oh the tire size! lolz...yeah I have the 195 55 15 right now...they are the Kumos performance tires..anybody know if they're any good? I don't know what size were the shitty ones, either way they still seem a lil higher for some reason..Anyone recommend me lowering more by half an inch? And can someone give me info on a camber kit for the car.
Still here... sorta...

Skunk2 makes a good camber kit for the front. Some will say Ingalls, but I use them and I don't like the way they are designed. Ingalls does make a great rear kit though.
Anyhow, have you checked your tire pressure? Maybe they have too much air in them... it's a long shot, but I'm just throwing out ideas.
Kuhmo makes a good tire. I don't see 195/55's being a problem on those rims. That means the sidewall is ~107 mm / ~4.2 in.

But for most Civics 195/55x15" is the correct size.
