I thought I might try 205/55R16 tires: same width, same overall diameter, slightly lower aspect ratio. Honda Accord bolt pattern (4x4.50, +36 offset). But every 16" wheel I can find is at least 7" wide. With this setup, will the rims themselves rub against the struts, or am I still OK? It would be nice to know before springing for the rims and massacring the hubs.

Any thoughts on this setup (other than the obvious limitation on rotation possibilities)? Jim, is the strut clearance just as tight in the back as in the front?
