Hi all,
in desperate need to change my current tires.....I just need a straight answer to whether or not there would be any tire rub if I put 225s (specifically 225/50/16) on my standard SVT E1 rims?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Very rare rubbing with mine (I also have the BAT Euro suspension). Under normal driving conditions, basically zero.

Hey Kerry!!
I remember you weren't/aren't too happy with the Yoko's performance in the wet...I just switched out the ES100's with 225/50/16 Bridgestone Potenza RE750's...AWSOME TIRE!!! Great wet grip...driving with the Yoko's was like driving with mittens on...got back that "razor sharp" SVT feel!!!
