just yes....but i am running 195 width tyres - which just fit onto x 7's. If i was running 205 rubber, i would be getting rubbing no doubt

7.5 would probably be the widest for ur car..

15s are the way to go to match your cars handling (better for race) and i think looks too!

have found with 17s the height of the wall compromises the high speed cornereing as the walls dont lean over as far but looks great with decent wheels

i have 16x7 with 205 tyres and have no probs with scrubbing. only time there is any rubbing is when it is full lock left it rubs on the inner arch slash guard. but this is only due to getting my castor adjusted to a more positive angle. so no probs really
