I'm planning to put on Rota Slipstreams - 16x7 +40 on my xA and i'm not too sure what tire I should run. I am thinking of getting 205/55 (im really wanting to go with this size) or 205/50 or possibly 215/50. I would like a wide tire, just not sure if the 215 would be too wide and I would like a 55 to cover as much gap as possible but I am afraid of rubbing. I am lowered on Tein S-Techs as well.

I'm currently running 205/50 on 15x7.5 +32 Konig Retracks

 

Any suggestions or recommendations? Any?

Too fatt. 205/45 max 205/40 or 195/45 better

 

I've got 16x7 Konig feathers with 205/50r16's on them, and while I haven't even had them for a full day yet, I don't believe they rub.
Maybe a smidge at full lock up front, but that's it.
Pictures incoming.

Looking good!
