Some wheel and tire questions

[Liu997]

I plan to get a 16x7 rim and I think my tire size is 205/45/16.
Do you think this will fit the hatchback without no problems. My car is not lowered but I plan to do it eventually. I would like no rubbing at all.

And do wider tires provide more traction if so I would rather get 215/45/16s

16x7 with 205/45/16 will fit with no problem and will not rub. You shouldn't rub when you lower
it. I don't know about the 215's though.

So I'm basically safe whatever I lower (reasonably) to the car with the 205s?
