Jay, what's a decent tire in 205/50/16 that doesn't have a super tall sidewall? I've got 204/45 Federals right now, and I really don't like them much, plus it's getting close to time for new tires. Along with that, I'd like to fill my wheel wells a tad more with the correct size, but the 205/50 Feds I had on there before looked gargantuan. What do you recommend? The looks of a tire are important to me. Thanks!

How can I tell what size spacers I need? Are cheap spacers OK, or if not, who should I source them from? Any help would be appreciated.
