Default 16's for a prelude

I'm ordering GT3's soon and I was wondering what size tire should I go for right now I have stock 15's with 205/55/15 and the front is tire tucking some and it rubs on hard turns.. Is it possible for me to go to a 16" rim with a smaller side wall to make it fit?

Sorry I am a noob at the rim tire selection thing

I don't understand why your stock wheels and tires are rubbing, unless you've lowered your car a HUGE amount. If you haven't, it's possible you have a suspension problem of some sort.

The usual objective in choosing street tires is to choose a size that maintains the same outer diameter as the stock tire (and yes, this means shorter sidewalls with a larger diameter wheel). On your '92 Prelude Si, with 16" wheels, you should get 205/50-16 tires.

It was just h&r race springs 1.9" 1.7" drop... I am thinking its because of my worn struts but everyone keeps telling me when struts are blown or worn they don't sag.. but I read on a few sites it does...
