I will soon need to replace the worn Toyo T1-S currently on my car, and was wondering what tire size I might change to. The Toyo's right now are 205-55-16, and this seems like a nice looking profile and width for the car. Just wondering if I can go to anything wider. Actually, what is the widest I can fit before rubbing?
Thanks in advance.....

My 850 has 205/55/16's on it, and they rub the wheel wells a bit on tight turns. The official size is 205/50/16, but these are hard to find. Don't know what'll happen with 215's.
For all you who run the larger size --> keep an eye on the rubbing and especially the black plastic nuts that keep the wheel wells attached to the body. When these get popped off from rubbing, the well wells can crack due to lack of support, and the bumper will sag a bit off the height of the trim.
