Default 16 in wheel owners give me a little help

I just bought a set of wheels for my car, got a quick couple of questions. What size tire are you running. I am considering 205/45/16 or 215/45/16 will 215s rub. Could you please put some pics if you have them! Looking to get either yoks es100, hankook r-s2, or the Azenis what are your personal opinions or recommendations if you have any experience with these tires. Thanks guys

i'm running 215/40/16 and while they make me hug the road like glue, do not rub and look cool...they are EXPENSIVE *** TIRES, they hog my accelleration and have almost no sidewall (very low profile) so the ride is rough as hell. I want 205/45/16 next.

205/45/16 is the way to go, i'm running this size. if you wanna go 215/45/16 make sure ur not too low because you'll most likely rub like crazy if you gotta angle. but go 205/45/16

it really depends on how low ur car is? i'm running 205's with my rega's.
for a problem/ worry free choice go with the 205/45....and you could still slam it.

either size is good
as long as you dont get 205 40 16
205/40/16 will be way smaller than stock and look just silly

Yokohama AVS ES 100s here. 205/45/16 on Volk LE37T.

PROS: They hug the road pretty well. A great all around season tire. Good for the money. Still have about 75% thread after 7000 miles.

CONS: As the thread wears down, it gets kind of noisy (as with most performance tires). It totally depends on how much your car filters outside noise. Unfortunately for me, I have a gutted rear so I hear pretty much everything. I've learned to live with it so it doesn't bother me at all (hell, open exhaust cutout all day doesn't bother me .

Other stuff: I tuck tires and I only rub when making full U-turns. Full as in the wheels turned all the way. That's how low I am.

The 215/45 is a great tire....but you can't be low at all, or you will rub.

The reason I rub in the front when making FULL U-Turns is due to the fact the I'm lower than you.

Car is great

Although...
98+ front with full Optional Kit would be sEx.
