first off what size tires are you running on your rims right now, 205.50.15? keep in mind that a 15" rim with a 50 tire could almost be the same as a 16" with a 40. less metal more tire vs. more metal less tire. my buddy is running the same setup as you. 205.50.15 with the same drop and he doesnt rub, just dont take any corner rank fast cause it might rub. well that what my dad and i were talking about the other night and came to this conclusion. oh yeah and the 15 is more likely to be lighter!!

Since you're already rubbing with the stock size tires, then don't get tires that are wider (e.g. 205) or have a larger outer diameter.
In fact, since you're already rubbing with the stock size tires, you might want to consider getting rid of some of that drop...
