I'm planning to change my 215/35/18s to a 215/50/16s due to hitting too many potholes. Do you guys think I will have a problem rubbing? I really like the XXR 08 16" rims XXR Wheels 008 - 16 inch 16x7.0 Machined Silver Rims

 

215/45, not 50. Would be too big. If you aren't rubbing at that width now, then you probably won't with the new one. How are you fitting 215s under there in the first place?? Haven't seen that done yet.

 

when replacing the stock 185/55/16 tires went to 205/50/16 kumhos

the size difference barely changed my speedo reading , goggle tire size calculator to find sizes that are close to original ratios. tirebuyer.com had the best prices with free shipping and fast delivery.

i'm very happy with these tires and they do not rub at all, my sport has stock suspension.

cheers,
gd
