205/55/16s and a 2.5" drop?
Can they both coincide in a happy marriage?
My e-bay sleeveovers will be going on shortly (being saying that for like over a month now....) and I need new tires. I kept seeing 205/45s, but those are way too small for a portly looking Accord.
Found some 205/50s, which seem to fit better, but they only have two in stock and are in back order.... maybe I can convince my friend Sam to sell me his old pair of Azenis...

I would hold out for the 205/50/16 or look for another brand/model in that size. The 205/55/16 are a bit big in diameter.
As for if you'll have any problems with the drop, probably not but don't forget to take into account the offset of the rims.

the offset shouldn't be an issue, but they are 16x7s... I assume they are the common FWD-aftermarket offset though.
Took them off a late 80s Legend, but they had some hideous 225/60s on them.
