not really, just wanted to stick with 16's for this car. i also want a fatter footprint for handling and sticky tires without going to drag radials. my old 205/55-16's compared to these are:

Old New
sidewall 4.4 4.0
radius 12.4 12.0
diameter 24.9 24.0
circumference 78.2 75.3
revs/mile 850 876

do you think i will have an issue with clearance or load? load specs are:

load rating: 89W SL
max load 1279 lbs
