Default 16x7 205/50/r16 too big for 2000 civic coupe?

Like the title says. I bought some drag Dr-16's that are 16x7 with tires that are 205/50/r16. I installed them on my 2000 civic coupe with stock suspension. My question is, has anybody had any rubbing problems? I noticed there isnt that much room when turned all the way. Let me know, thanks

Rubbing issues will be more due to the wheels than the tires. I run 205/45R16 on my coupe

Stock suspension it probably will not rub, however i would downsize to either 205/45/16 or 215/45/16 in the near future.

wheels will work fine, just get smaller tires, 205-45-16 or 205-40-16.

I would go for 45's
