205 or 195

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well I do believe the issue is not only width, but height as well, as 17"
205's will be a lot closer to body parts than 15" 205's
I have 15x7" 205/50 on mine and I have little (turning tightly) rubbing in
the front into the rubber wheel well.

=>Is diameter what we're primarily concerned with on
=>rubbing issues? Or is width the primary issue? Because
=>if we're talking 195's or 205's then we are discussing
=>width.
=>
=>I'm interested in this thread because I'm considering
=>195/45R16's, yes they exist, and I have stock
