You might have problem w/ rubbing with softest setting during a hard turn, but will be fine at med-high shock settings.

it will depend on the offset of the rims, but j00 should be okay as long as it's between +45 ~ +50

BlueR : I just put these tires on my 16x7 +50 RH CP-035's, and am running H&R sport springs (29502, I think), which may lower an ITR a little more than the Lowdowns, and have not yet encountered rubbing or clearance problems.

FWIW... these tires are also wider and taller than the Bridgestone RE-010's they replaced.

Amazingly, so far (less than 400 miles), it is a more comfortable ride, with better dry grip.

HTH.
