Id go for 205 60 13 but theres always the stretch option 195 45 's etc depends on the look you want really.

205/60s will be to big, youll be looking 195/45's

i had 205s on the back of a escort 4 door they used to rub like f**k when car was full,if you went over bump hard with just me in it it used to rub just on the one side

rubbing shouldnt be too much of a problem, im fitting wider arches so there will be plenty of room for 205s

i had standed arch's but it stuck to the road like glue in the dry and wet
