205/55
/thread just get something moderately name brand, as it sounds like you'll be on them year-round.

Will the 205/55 rub against the perch on the stock suspension?

So are the black tire combinations the ones that will fit?

The +0 tires won't affect my speedometer right?

+0 tires? You mean 0 offset wheels? It wont affect anything.

Tires aren't gonna fill that gap much at all, lowering the car is the only way to do that.

I have another concern, so with the standard 15x7 wheel, if I went with something like a 205/55 will my speedometer be affected? I really like the wider tire look

Google "tire size speed calculator" or something to that effect. Put in your stock tire size and the size you want and it tells you where and when your speedo will be off.
