I'm curious if anyone has tried this size. It should be ~0.5" or so shorter in diameter then the 195's, but I'm more worried about rubbing issues or mounting issues.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the stock 195/50/16 are a bit undersized and most owners prefer to increase the section width while leaving the aspect ratio alone, giving the tire a little more beef. (205/50/16)

205/45-16's will fit with zero issues on stock wheels. even with a modified suspension, you would be hard pressed to rub or have fitment issues.
 
now I'm wondering the same... I think I would like a little more tire under there. Maybe I'll go for the 50's if there is still no concern for rubbing.
 
will fit no problem. 205/50 would be my choice though. no issues still, a bit beefier and cheaper as its a more popular size.
