they will rub pretty badly.. 215/45r16 or 205/45r16 are the correct size tires for your application. Another thing that will determine how bad they will rub will also be the offset of the wheel

yep

I'd go with 205-40/16 if you're gonna be pretty low, if not profile 45 is fine

You were already told that 205/45-16 (or 215/45-16) is the proper size for your application, and 205/50-16 will rub. That's your answer.

As noted in the FAQ, you're not supposed to bump topics more than once. When you do, the topic gets locked.
