The question is do i go for 15x6.5 or 15x7.5?
They are both 40+mm offset (so i don't know if that is bad news or not when it comes to rubbing....cuz i wanted 45+mm to be safer).

BUT my car is not lowered and i don't plan on lowering it....so will I be 100% safe from inner and outer rubbing if i go with a 15x7.5 wheel for my stock car?

I'm thinking of putting 225/50/15 wheels on the 15x7.5  or is that too wide? Should I go with 205/50/15s to be safe?

Your going to be taller with that 205/50R15 Try a 205/45R15

What size rim are do you have now?
205/50/15 has a smaller sidewall then stock 15 tire size for the Focus.
It would also look funny having a 45 series tires on a 15inch rim on a car that is not going to be lowered. (ton of tire gap)
