I see where you talking about now..

Have you lifted the wheel off the ground to check it for play?
When you put it in reverse does the wheel move forward?

could also be a bent sub-frame, or bent control arm..

Have you looked underneath for any damage?

205/50-16 is the proper size. The tires are taller than what's originally on the car. That being said, it DOES seem a little off-kilter. I'm running 225/45/17 on my car and they arent that close, and i have 15 mm spacers in the back.
