        You said you weren't familiar with 16s..also wanted to see if anyone else was running 16s with anything wider then 205s

              You did sir..was wondering if anyone was running anything wider then 205 without issues, but I guess no one is

                  I just think on a 7" wheel you are better off with a 205

                    i run a 215 with a 16x7.5 wheel with no problem. you will clear a 205 with out problem but i would think with a 7" wheel you would have room for something wider and maybe even a spacer for more clearance on the strut
