They will if the offset is correct. I've got 225/50-16s on 16X8 wheels on the back of mine with no rubbing. And last weekend I even had a full set of wheels and tires, 2 diffs and a big brake kit in the trunk and back seat with no rubbing. :shock: Car did ride a little low in back though.

205/55/ is to little for an 8" wheel. If you're worried about clearance, I'd run a 215/55.

Offset of the wheel is key.
