Wheels Rubbing... what tires should i use???
Alright i have a set of 16" rota subzeros. my friends are telling me to put 195/50/16 (the si wheel size tire) on it. but the person i bought it from said 215/40/16..... only problem i use to have 17's w/ 215/40/17 and they rubbed on turns and bumps. so do you think the 16's will rub also? secondly will the 40 or 50 have a more comfortable ride?

Do you still have your fender liners? Or is it actually rubbing on your fender lip? You can always just roll your fenders.
A 215/40/16 and 1 215/40/17 will be completely different sizes. You could run a 175 if you really wanted to on a 7" rim - it would be stupid though. How about a 205/40/16?
A 205/45 is 23.3 inches tall and a 195/50 is 23.8. A 215/40 is 22.8. I'd go with a 205/45 personally, as a 205/40 is 22.2 inches tall.
