Hey gsxr, thanks for chiming in. You provided plenty of good information in the past, so it is very reassuring to get your advice when I have an issue.

My friend mounted 215/55/16 tires on his 16” x 7.5” ET35 wheels on his coupe and they rubbed the plastic cladding. It seems that slightly taller tires are just as much of a problem as slightly wider tires. From what I have read, the 215/45/17 is OK on a 17” rim, but the 215 doesn’t workout for the 16-inch rims, unless you have a higher offset.

I may order my tires today and I will probably just go for the 205/55/16. They are OK. I was just looking forward to having really fat tires bulging under my fenders.

I really think increasing the toe-in will help my current situation in the front. Then I can just rotate the tires from front to back to balance everything out.

You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
