Default Need help on tire size

Right now I've got my OEM 15" Fat fives with Toyo Proxes 195/50/15. The clearance is good in the front and rear with no problems. I'm dropped 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear with front and rear camber kits. I'm wanting get some wheels this spring and really want to go with 16" wheels. I just want to make sure that I don't rub and I'm not sure what tire to go with. 205/45/16 or 205/40/15. I think the 205/45/16 will be a bigger overall diameter than the 195/50/15's i have on right now but I don't want the 205/40/16's to look all goofy with a gap. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated or if anyone wants to state what they have and might be pretty close to what I'm currently running that would help too. When it comes to tire specs I'm lost.

Thanks for all the help guys! HAN rocks!

Had 17inch rims with Toyo Proxes FZRs 205, with a 1.5" drop front and rear on my 94 Teg and had no problems what so ever with rubbing.

I have a 1.75" front/1.5" rear drop, which settled more like 2"/1.75", and 16" Volks. I run 205/45/16's, and only rub on uturns.

Running GSR 15" wheels with 205-50-15 tires. I'm lowered 2.0" in front
and 1.75" in the rear and have no problems at all with rubbing. Hope

You probably woulden't run if u dropped ur profile down to 45.
