I think most ppl will fit 205/50/16, but for Latio I noticed that the gap is too big. So wondering if anyone tried 205/55/16

Wheel arch to tyre big gap even 55 profile wont do much to close up è gap unless change coilover or use lowerin spring to minimize è gap

im using 205/55/16. Gap will be smaller a bit as the diameter of the wheel will be larger. Car will be very slightly higher and can clear parking kerb easier  :thumbsup: FC will drop!
