you gotta give it more than 30 min to get a response. people dont live on here, even though you could be fooled by some peoples post counts, and have the ability to answer at a moments notice.

I dont have an answer to your question :( , but is your car running good on 205/50/16's? I need new tires soon and need to replace my R/T rim tires from 195/50/16. Only thing is that speed will be about 1 mph of at 65.

going up to 205/50R16 has been a great move for me, car feels better going over bumps and stuff, fills your wheel wells a tiny bit more and i just like the wider tire too

I'm running on a 205/50/16 as well. I haven't had any rubbing problems at all. I'm using Yokohama AVS E100's though, awesome tires.

you might just have enought gap. I am running 65/15s and thats about a 55/16. its close to the spring perch but not enought to give any troubles. But anyhow i don't need to worry about that anymore with coilovers.
