I was running 205/50V15 on my stock ´92 rims with no problems. I recently upped to a 15x6.5 with the same tires and the rears rub under hard, hard, hard cornering on bumpy roads (think Rallye GB). I will either roll or trim the fender lips next weekend.

what´s the widest tire i can put on my stock ´92 EGT without rubbing? hypothetically, i could put a 215-50-15 on a 6" wide rim without a problem, but how wide can i go without rubbing on things i should rub against?

Actually, Beaverboy, the 205 should be 205mm wide from sidewal to sidewall, NOT at the tread. Also, the 205 is spec´d based on a specific rim width that the tire mfgr uses to determine its measurments.
