205-50 15's will fit no problem, I have them on my NX with 200SX SE-R rims no rubbing at all. I hd at one point 205-40 17's on my ar and absolutely no rubbing you'll be good.

Depends on the offset of the wheels. With a 15x7 35mm offset and Azenis there is enough clearance. With a 40mm offset they will just touch the strut body. I have some 15x6.5 40mm offset coming so we'll have too see if they touch.

I'm on 205/50/15's right now on stock SE-R rims and they're fine. The only time I've had problems with rubbing with 205/50/15 tires was with a +45mm offset rim. A small 3mm spacer on each rear corner fixed that.

One other thing I have learned you need to watch is section width - this depends on the tire. Section width is not necessarily the same for the same size of different brands of tire (say that five times fast...).

Most tire manufacturers show section width in their on-line specs.

i just put on the 205/50/15 and they fit perfectly, no rub at all.

They will fit. I have Enkei RP-01s, 15"x7", 35 offset (I prefer 38 or 40). I ran P-Zeros, RE-71s and older Yokos in 205/50-15 sizing with never a rubbing problem. It's odd how different wheels and tires of the same size can rub or not rub. That's life.
