Question Tire size suggestions please...

I am picking up a set of genuine jdm eg6 15" rims this week, that are in need of tires soon. they will be going on a 92 hatch hat has a h22 installed. I would like to drop this car as low as I can(being with the h22 and the oil pan problem). what would be the best size tire I can wrap on these rims, I would also like the widest, due to the power I am putting down etc..?

If you want to dump, the lower the profile the better, i have Toyo T1R's in a somewhat rare size, mostly because it's not known that it exists, 205/45/15, there also light tires . I believe 195/50's generally end up a thinner profile as oppose to the 205/50's because of the overall size characteristics of the tire.

205/50/15's are smaller sidewall profile..........195/50's are much beefier looking.
I would go with 205/50's.

My choice:

225/50/15 for front, 195/55/15 for rear. Assuming the rim width is 6.5". Choice of tire is Toyo RA1.

For summer of course.
