Ditto on the rubbing issues. My 92'Turbo came with 205/16/55's. These rubbed on the protruding fender trim installation bolts. These bolts are stainless and very difficult to cut or file. Best bet to cut them is with a high speed Dremel tool with a good quality cutting disc. They also rubbed on the inside of the OEM mud flaps in the area where they bolt onto the inside of the fender. The mud flaps are important to me so removing them was not an option. Going to the OEM spec 50 series tires eliminated all rubbing issues. Finding this size was not a big problem. I ordered them from one of the big mail order tire outfits. They're Nitto's, less than $90 ea US and superb.
