Red? Or Black?
I'm also running 205/55/15's, same as '93CB7Ex ^
Depends on what strut/shock combo you're also running.
You'll need atleast a front camber kit. That will help to adjust your camber back to normal.
Please, you have top of the line springs, don't run on stock or cheap struts.
Get a good camber kit for the front as well .. I have the Ingalls.
I've never had an issue with the rear .. I've just left them alone.

with the two inch drop you'll be fine with the clearance issues, your current tire size is fine.
For the springs, whether it is the eibach pro kit (black) or sportline (red), either spring wont rub your tires. Pro kit gives a 1.2 drop and the sportline is 1.8.
for the shocks, i recommend KYB agx's or tokico illiminas for eibach pro kit.
If your using the sportline springs, then koni orange or yellows.

Im running on 215/45/R17's, with a two finger gap. No clearance or rubbing issues. the 215/50/r15s you want should work. I may be wrong, But I' don't think our stock rims can go up to 215. It seems too big for it. I recommend winter tires for you. You still have snow over there? isnt it melting already?
