quick tire question
I'm about to start looking around for new tires for my lancer, so I just wanted to make sure that tires in the size of 215/50 on the 16'' rim will not rub anywhere due to the added width, as in the sticky.

they should be fine as long as your not lowered IMO same goes w/ 205/55/16(but i could be wrong tho  )
im on 215/45/16 on stockies right now & lowered with no problem at all.
mind u.... 215/45/16 r a bit smaller than 205/50/16.

Not much in the 215 to choose from, but the Kumho ASX and BFG Traction T/A V rated will give a good balance of sport handling and longevity.
If you want to stick with a summer tire, the Yoko S-drive in the oe 205 size would work quite well.
