Anyone have a set of 205/55s mounted on 16x7 Fuchs they could lend me for a day or two to check fitment on the front of my car? I'm getting a lot of rubbing on rough roads with my 225s and am considering going back to 205s up front for the street and keeping the 225s for the track. Thanks!

I have the wheels but they are currently naked. I do have some with tires but I think they are 205/65.

I have what you need but you would have to swop some things arround.
Let me know if you can't find a way to do it easier.

Chris, why 55's? 50's will work fine.

205/55 16 is the stock tire size for the front. I just figured is someone has a set of 205s on 7x16 Fuchs, good chance they were going to be 205/55s.

Chris, check out mine, you are more than welcome to borrow them.

I have a set of Kuhmos (??) not on a car if interested.

Big thanks to David Riley for helping me with this. I found that with the 205s on 7s, there going to be a little bit of rubbing on the front. I didn't take the car out on crappy roads with David's tires for obvious reasons, but the main point of the exercise was to see if 205s on 7s would fit with no modifications given my ride height (25.25"). On my car, the answer was no. So, since mods were needed, I decided to stick with the 225s up front. I trimmed part of the fender lip where it was rubbing and had no problems on our run on Saturday.

Good to hear Chris!

I take that as your gonna keep the 8's.
They look great in the picture!
I'll start looking for 9's for my rears!

I had a similar problem with my Khumos untill I wore (from suspension lean, not rubbing) enough rubber off the "corner" to avoid rubbing. Maybe thats why the MPSC's are curved so much near the edge :P

Did you find the rubbing to be equal left and right? Mine rubs only on the drivers side (LHD, wisecrackers!)
