Tire Size Questions on 850R 850 1997

I know this has probably been asked before and I found some old information in the archives. So from what I gather my car was sold with the 16 inch instead of the 17's. Original tire size says 205/50/16 but hard to find and potential bent rim situations. It currently has 205/55/16 tires that only rub in at steering lock. From what I can tell they switched the tires around 96 from the 205/50/16 to the 55 series.

Has anyone ever put on 215/45/16 which would be the proper plus sizing. Any help would be appreciated as it is time for new tires and I would like to make the right purchase.


205/50/16
205/55/16
215/45/16

What would be the best choice and the pro's and con's.

Thanks

Tony
