More tire questions...

On a 318ic, would 225/45-16 Yokohama AVS ES100's rub? The wheels would be 16x7 SSR Competitions.

It shouldn't. When going with 16" wheels, you should go with either 205/50 or 225/45. That's what most people say.

AVS' have pretty stiff sidewalls but 225 is a little wide IMO on 7" wide wheels.

They will be fine, the tread on ES100's runs narrow.

This question can't be answered without knowing the offset of the wheels.
