Default 00 civic 205-50-16

I'm wanting to buy Dunlop Star Specs for a 16" wheel to fit my car (00 civic coupe that's lowered) and the closest thing available is 205-50-16. I've searched around and i couldn't find much about someone running this size. It doesn't seem like the extra 0.80" height would be a problem with rubbing (i know the speedo will be off a bit).

Does anyone have any pics or experience running this size?

They are too big.

But it's not like that is the only sticky tire on the planet! You can use any of these and they will give you performance virtually identical to the Star Spec (except that the XS is worse on wet pavement):

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 205/45-16
Toyo Proxes R1R 205/45-16
Kumho Ecsta XS 215/45-16
