car is lowered with 91 specific whiteline springs. suppose to be a 3/4" drop. looks like there's not much room as is with the 15 ss rims.

would 16" rims fit with 205/50-16? or would it rub?

I think we need a larger wheel and tire registry or something.

But yeah I'd think so, although maybe 90-91s have less tire to strut clearance.

I have the same wheels with 225s on my 93.

The thing is that the spring perches on 90-91s are lower I think and might interfere with the tire. 205/55-16s were REALLY close to the stock rear strut perches on my car.

okay well I'm making the "registry" thread.

I am running those same wheels with that same size tire right now.

Mine is lowered a bit, but just from RS springs, and I'm running RS struts.

Gonna go with coilovers soon, though.

I'm running 205/50-16's now and don't have any issues.

I did have my inner fender shaved a while back. Depending on your wheel offset, you should be alright though.
