From the "wheels and tires" sticky:

[size] [outer diameter] [ratio to stock]
195/55-15 23.44” 100.1%
205/50-15 23.07” 99.4%
195/50-15 22.68” 97.7%

As for eBay, I can't say anything...I find most of my stuff there too, lol.

I'd go 205/50 or a 195/50. It depends on the tire too. For instence a 195/50 Toyo R1R is wider than a 205/50 Falken Azenis.

i run 205/50/15 falken 912 with my fat five rims lowered 2.25 inches with no prob...i do notice that they lose traction in 1st gear and when i stop fast they are not as sticky...but i think a sticker tire would solve the issue

how wide can it go before it pops out or rubs

depends on your offset and width of your wheel. But I'm gonna stop there.
