1997 T5 Tire Size

As far as I know they shouldn't rub.

Interesting that you should say that, that said. I just put a set of 205/50/16 tires on my S70 which previously was on a set of 195/60/15 tires. Even taking into account the fact that the 15" tires were lousy and the 16" tires are great, the difference in control is striking. You will be adding sidewall flex by moving from 50 to 55, so I guess you will be giving up a tiny bit of control.

HTH,
