I'm in the process of changing to five lug and am going to use phone dials, 16x7's. I had 205/55-16 tires mounted on the rears and did a fit check. They fit but is tighter on one side, about 3/16" to 1/4" from rubbing the fender. For a daily driver will these be OK to run? Or should I go with the 195's? I have sway bar installed... even so, will the rear sway that much to have the fender rub?
Thanks, Rob |

Rob... have you simply tried pulling on the fender lip by hand? You'd be amazed. These things never seem to measure up side to side.
