Stock P5 wheels P195/50/16 and I run cheap ass steelie winters on P195/65/14\'s
Car is lowered 1.3\" all round with H&R. Did the lowering a year after my winter package was bought.
I should have at least gone to a P185/65/14\'s as it would have solved the problem I faced.

My wee problem was some slight inside tire rub heard on long left hand turns and dips. Meaning the passenger side rear and a wee bit of the front has a slight sound. The offeset does not touch the outside of the fender with visual inspection. But the issue seems to be that I don\'t have enough offset towards the inner hub. Checked for major wear and nothing is too decisive, looks like tire rubs occassionally on the upper strut mounts.

Picked up some spacers from P.I. as I had done before on my old Accord when I had this problem an dit should be solves.
