who's running HFP 16" rims?(EP-5 or SS-7)
03 GG LX sedan; 5M
..their both 16 x 6.5...45 offset
I have SS-7s and need recommendation on rubber
factory recommends 205-50-16 .....anyone tried 215-50-16; any fender, cornering or other susp rub issues?
what about with 1 -1.25 drop??

215-50/16 will rub if ur low enough. its not worth the extra 10.
plus it will make ur car perform significantly sluggishier.
i would just stick with 205/50/16......or for a bit better handling and a lighter diameter, get 205/45/16
the 205/45/16 are great, and they look "almost" low profile. ride is great as well...
here is a pix what a 205/45/16 on a 16" rim look like:

yes, but not by much. ur only off like 4%.
i remember when i was going 65 i was doing actually about 61-63ish (on the GPS, and gps is pretty accurate)
but the advantage is that ur wheel has a smaller diameter, and as we know, weight is exponentially increased as the outter increases, which will make ur car a bit more sluggish and less responsive. (basic physics)
