Default CRX + 16x7 + 225/50-16 = problem?

not sure if anyone has had a problem running 225/50-16s on a CRX... ie, with rubbing the knuckles or not.

I don't suspect I will, but, want to make sure prior to jumping the bandwagon and ordering Victoracers in that size.

Whats your offset with the wheels you will be running. On a side note was that your car in Grassroots magazine this month?

fyi:

16x7 w/ +40 offset with 225/50/16 V700 Victoracers on a CRX...

BARELY fit. there's maybe a 1/4" of gap between the front portion of the fender and rear portion of the fender.

I'll be doing more testing to see if it'll rub on hard braking and/or hard cornering. I might have to:
a. shave the tyres (i bought them full thread)
b. roll the fenders (and front bumper)
c. use another set-up as i don't want to tear a tyre or rip my bumper off on track.
