Lower Profile Tires and Fender Gap Question
My stock tires right now are at 205-60-16, if I change to a lower profile tire asy a 205-50-16, how would that affect the fender gap?? Thx

If your intent is to reduce the gap, you are doing the reverse. You will gain fender gap while losing body clearance. Unless, you like to be low, what you are doing is the worst of both worlds (in terms of looks vs. usability) -- scraping while having a larger wheel/fender gap. Plus with less rubber, your ride quality will also go down and your wheels will be out of spec.
