205/55-16 tyre revisited

Hi All, I've been doing some research from old posts to use above tyres for my Fit/Jazz GE 2014.

The threads are quite old and I was wondering if there's any updates on the use of these tyres and if they rub when heavily loaded (e.g. camping)?

My interest is to simply have more clearance and more absorbing tyres as I take the car to gravel roads a lot. Might even lift it one day.

I am aware of the following and really don't mind/care about them:
- Worse fuel economy (jazz is already very economical!)
- Speedometer error
- Worse looks/stance/cosmetics
- Worse road handling and stability ie. higher centre of gravity
- 205/50-16 are 195/55-15 are alternatives which are closer to stock and working well
- CRV is a better option for gravel road (I just like the jazz)

So would anyone have any experience whether the tyre will rub inside/outside? It seems ok when not loaded, just want to hear otherwise. Thanks.
