Just as a point of reference, my ex, now brother's 5ktq is lowered, with
Fuch's and is running 225/50's all 'round and as far as I can tell has no
rubbing issues at all. The tires are Summitomo's, can't recall the exact
model. I used to run Summitomom 225/50-15's in the HTR-50H style when I had
the car.

Later!

'89 90tq (wishing I had gone with the 215's... 205 looks odd on 7.5" rims)
