Default 16x7 rims on a 1.5"-2" lowered 88 honda CRX

Hi guys, I know this topic has been covered but Im quite lazy to find the information. I want to know if some 16x7 (wrapped in 205/50/16) will fit on a Honda CRX lowered 1.5-2" (F & R). Will they be able to fit? (if not I can also go 15" wrapped in 195(205)/55/15. Please tell me what is possible without having the wheels rub into the fender while turning. Your replies are appreciated.

Please no flaming.

-Jon

Heh, Just really wanna know what profile is best to use. I heard 40 rides rough, 45 might rub. Might go with 15"s - I like to have meat on my tires and nice sidewalls. Post your nice tire combos also

I am pretty sure they will fit but they might rub a little. I got 15's with 195/50/15's and about a 1.75" drop at the most and it doesn't rub at all.

I had 205.40s on my crx and they don't ride that bad....I never rubbed either even with a 38 offset

lowered on sportlines which claim a 1.8" drop...

I would think that 205/50-16s would rub due to the fact that they are too tall for the car. Unless you get the offset dead on, I think you will have rubbing issues up front.

205/45/r16 would be the correct size for that combo. most people use the 205/40/r16 to gain some extra clearence just incase, but i've used the 45 with no problems.

Mathematically 205/40R16 is the correct size to use.
