I have 205/15 in my car. It's a little noisey but it doesn't rub.

If you meant "brake" failure, there is absolutely no truth to that.

As for the tires you should be using 195/55's, both the tire sizes you posted will be significantly taller than stock. 205's will fit on that rim, but you should go with a shorter profile than 65's. You could use either 205/55 or 205/50 size tires, both would be pretty close to the stock size. I definitely wouldn't use a thinner tire (the 185's) than came on the car stock.

yeah, i've decided to hold off for a minute, due to the fact i am picking up some c8's tomorrow, so i will no longer need tires for these rims. But i will need some for the c8's

I have that exact size tires on my teg and I really don't notice much of a difference from the 195/55/15's i used to have.

Dunno if that helps at all or not...
