It'll prolly rub a little, you should be straight though.

With this setup you should have a minimal amount of rubbing. Look under the fender and find where it is rubbing and reduce the size of that area (either roll the fenders or remove liner), whatever the cause maybe investigate. If you don't want to do either you can go to a 195/45/16 or a 205/40/16. If you had a higher offset wheel you could probably get away with the same size tire.

I cant stress enough that it also depends on the brand of tire you use!!!

RE01-R is a AWESOME tire... It would be the tire I run on the S2000 if it wasnt $300 a tire! I also wish the life of the tire was a little longer. Should be OK with those tire... minor rubbing.
