what size on stock rims?

Hi Guys. I'm kinda new at this whole tire wheel thing. I got an 04 EX coupe with 185/65/15 stock alloy and tire. But i want something wider on that rim. I know a 195/60/15 will fit. But what about a 205/60/15? People say it will fit on the rim but it might rub on something during turns. Its all stock suspension and not lowered or anything. I just want something wider on my stock rims cause the factory tires or too skinny.

Thanks for you help guys

205-60-15 fit fine on an 03 EX coupe on the stock alloys. No rubbing. They might "bubble" out somewhat, but I consider that extra wheel protection since the g/f swipes curbs occationally

Stock 15" 03 EX alloy with 205-60-15 Kumho ECSTA HP4 716...

15" Konig Villian with 205-60-15 Kumho ECSTA HP4 716...

They are 15x8's. I can't believe I got them to fit without spacers. The real trick is going to be when I throw the progress coilovers on in the near future and drop the car an inch. I'm pretty sure it won't rub inside the wheel well but I'm bringing my stock rims just in case. Should have pics of the tires mounted up in a day or two.
