Got a great deal off of tire rack for these Kosei, I think they look great and have gotten tons of compliment locally! Great wheels for $110 each!

When back to 17" I see. Do you miss the ride on the 15's?
Yea I do but I really got bored of the Sparcos lol had them for quite a while. I really wasn't looking for wheels, I wanted to buy the TD from Hijinx but no moneyz, I spent like $550ish for the Kosei which I thought was a great deal! I really wish there was some 16x8 wheels but so far no dice. Thinking about re-doing my suspension set-up too, want to go to Meister coils!

There was a group buy on rota slips 16x8 about two months ago on here.

Does anyone know if you mount a 205/50/16 on a car that is stock height, will it rub?

It theoretically shouldn't because it's not that big of a change; 15mm or 0.6" increase in total diameter:

OEM: 205/40r17
40% of 205mm = 82mm
x2 for the 2 sidewalls of the total tire diameter = 164 mm
17 inches for wheel diameter = 432 mm
Total diameter OEM = 596 mm

New, fatter tire on a smaller wheel; 205/50/16
50% of 205mm = 102.5mm
x2 for the 2 sidewalls of the total tire diameter = 205 mm
16 inches for wheel diameter = 406 mm
Total diameter OEM = 611 mm
