    205 50 16 fitment question on 16x9

    I know there's a tire fitment thread but I'm looking for a quick answer and this thread may help answer others questions in the future..

    I have wheels that I want to run.. 16x7.5 et 14 (front) and a 16x9 et 18 (rear)



    ..Anyways, will a 205 50 16 cause any rubbing issues on my future wheel setup? Id like to run the correct size tires in terms of height and not go any lower..

    Picture of current setup *Car is on IE3/Billysports and stock weaves*




    THANKS!

    you MIGHT still get the occasional rubbing if your fenders aren't rolled. Here is a pic of mine on 16x9 ET15 on a 205/50. I only rub on REALLY hard bumps. My fenders are slightly rolled, but not flat rolled.




    Unfortunately that's the best pic I have to show the stretch

      I run a 215/45/16 on my 16x9 ET15 and with rolled fenders I can run a 8mm spacer making it ET7.

      At ET18 you should be able to clear the rear fender without a roll.
