I bought a set of original 5 spoke wheels with 215/50-16 tires (30K miles on them) from a 9-5 and put them on my '98 900S. I did notice that after installing them there was a wear mark on the fuel filler overflow tube in the right rear wheel well. It hasn't worn through the plastic tube yet, but. They also make the car noticably (at least to me) taller than the 195/60-15s that were original on the car. The car has winter snows on it now. When they come off I will be replacing the 215/50-16s with 205/50-16s.
I've attached the link for the tire size calculator I use. The 215/50-16 is about 0.8 inches wider than the original tire. I'm not sure if that could cause the interference on the fuel tube. http://www.c5-corvette.com/tirecalc.htm
