For a hatch, I think 195/50/15 is better.... Especially the 5th gen hatches.... :thumbup:

Some manufacturers have different sized tires for the same numbers. A good example of that is the Azenis by Falken. Their 205's are wider than the other size 205's out there (even against their Ziex 512's). Wheel offset is another factor where one guy could be rubbing with 205 wide tires while another may not.
