Don't bother with 185/55/16 tire size - you'll get nothing but junk tires in that size. Do 205/50/16 instead.

Not to mention, 185 is a bit lacking in width for 16x7.

+1 on what Net said. On that wide of a wheel, 185 would look weird and also be not worthwhile. 205s are definitely the way to go.

As for the yakima, good choice of roof racks but if you are looking for fuel economy, skip the fairing and add at least two windjammers. If you are going to run with just the bars and no accessories up top, go for 4 windjammers.
