Advice/comments appreciated!

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all...
I actually rolled one next to my existing wheel to see the size difference, it looked like it may scrape the wheel well if the suspension is compressed over a bump..... I would go with wyldnwoody's suggestion of the 205/55-16 size, they tend to run cheaper at that size anyways.
