im going to drop my car using koni lowering springs and shocks. just curious to know if im going to rub horribly if i use some P16/55/205 on some stock e0 rims.
 
you shouldn't rub, i ran 225/50/16 on my old koni/B+G setup.

and kw8, that seems weird to me that it rubs, i have 225/40/18 on both stock and koni/B+G's and didn't rub at all unless i was full lock turning off an angle, IE driveway with the stupid crub things.

good to know that it wont rub cuz right now i cant afford new tires, thats why im gettin rid of my 17's cuz i cant replace the tires to complement the drop. kw8, maybe your offset isnt right if your rubbing really badly.
 
I'm running the same setup you are, koni kit and 205/55/R16 on E1s with no rubbing, I'm going up to 17s and 215/45/R17s soon hopefully.
 
Yeah I guess my offset isn't right. I hope my front won't rub when I install the front koni kit. But the rear will rub for sure and I guess my only choice is to go with probably 17s
 
ok, well going back on topic.... how badly would it rub running 215/45/r17? im feeling a bit impatient waiting to get new rims (postponed my swap due to SD fires)

IIRC you should have NO problems at all.
