Tires 195/55/15 or 205/50/15 Options

[grantsfo]

I'm shopping for tires now. I have found a few interesting tires in 195/55/15, but was wondering about 205/50/15. I know clearence for 205/50's depend on tire and car, but regardless of clearence what would work better on a stock powered 1.8 with koni's, sway bar slightly lowered etc. I know that fatter tires dont always equate to better performance. Should I consider 195/50/15's to minimize rotational weight on my stock powered car?

Looking for dry weather tire I can use on street and for AX.

I run a set of 205/60's on all 4 corners with 4-lug fuchs.  My suspension is all brand new, and 100% stock, and there is no rubbing anywhere, even at full turns.

Remarkable. I use the standard 5.5 J x 15 steel rims with an off-set of 40mm (ET40 = "einpress tiefe") and the right tyre touches the inside fender on full turn.

Do Fuchs rims have a different width (I thought they were 5.5 J as well) or off-set?

Heard good things about Kuhmo's, haven't driven them yet. I regularly do 110 MPH (for short distances) on the high way, so that's another reason why I am so anxious about tyre quality.
