I have a 16x7.0 wheel and I have coilovers. Currently I am running 215/55/16 size tires and I believe I am going to have rubbing issues (the coilovers are in the garage). What size do you guys recommend? Is 205/50/16 safe? (read: load rating). That is what I am leaning towards because of the lower profile and better handling response... but I also want to be sure that the tire won't blow out on me. The tire I want to get is the Bridgestone Potenza RE750 and it has a load rating of 87.

Thanks in advance.

whats the offset on the rim? thats going to play a large role in if it will rub or not.
