Hey, kinda random question, do you think the drop would still look the same with 205/50/16s vs the 205/55/16s? My wagon has 15" steelies on it and when I get new wheels I wanted 17, but I feel like that would throw the speedo off too much and am thinking of 16s, with 205/50/16.
It would look relitively the same, but Turbo models are supposed to have 205/55 on them. It would look a little lower, but there would be more wheel gap.
205 - Tire width, doesn't change anything except for tire rub
55 - Aspect ratio - this changes your your speedo
16 - Wheel size required.

I don't think I would mind the 50's, it's the wheel well gap I don't want, and your stance is pretty good and I think if I went with a slightly smaller tire it would create a larger gap. There's some 16's that I really like too but I think with the 55s the tires would just look too fat on the wheels.
I actually have a reason. My wheel rubs my fender. Some people have commented on my wagon being lowered but its not. I have replaced the strut but it still rubs. It has eaten right through my wheel well insert.
