Tire rack is saying 205/55. What about 215's? I want Pilot all seasons if that makes a difference.

I see that will fit, thanks. Is that the spec for the sport A/S? Edit: I think it is after looking them up. Do you think a 245/55 will fit without rubbing? Edit2: Ok nvm they aren't made in that size. 245/50 it is.

245/55 is a hard no.

245/50/16 would be right at limit for diameter. It's a hair smaller than 245/40/18 which is what a lot of people have ran, including myself.

Also, to be clear, the 245 will look pretty dumb on 7". I'm not saying you SHOULD run it, I'm saying you CAN, according to tire rack.

Thank you for the advice! I decided on 215/55r16 as I figure that would clear well enough.
