205/45/16 is the correct size, your 50 profiles are oversized. if its only on full lock, its not too big a deal since you're not going to do that at any real speed.

Consider a 40 profile. itll give you fantastic grip. when i had my proxes 4 in a 40 profile, the sidewall was stiff and the tire was square, allowing more clearence than yours that balloon out since they are a bigger profile.
