Default 16 inch rims

so i was planning on gettin some 16 in my 95 civic 4dr. i was wondering if this would rub against the fenders at all if i put 205/50/16 on then lower the car by like an inch and ahalf. also what brand of rims or rim design would go great with a gray 4dr. i was thinking bronze or gunmetal..

Dude, be carefull, I also have a honda civic 4 door, with 16's on it. Not sure of the exact specs on the tyres BUT: my car does scrub with the wheels on full lock and don't try and turn any sharp corners with a sharp rise there, trust me, it scares the sh** out of you the first few times you do it, and you look like a tool.

Dude man no wonder you rub, the tire is INSIDE the wheel well... i think you should raise the front end about ½-1 inch, that should fix your rubbing..

Cars getting raised on wednesday. I got the new springs today, a nice man in a blue uniform gave me a little bit of paper telling me just how too low it was. But hey, give me a break, i only got the car 2 weeks ago (and i absolutely love it)
