Default 205/45/16 on MP3's

Cleaned and waxed the 16inch MP3 wheels today and noticed they were 6.5 inches wide. Anyone running any size other than 195/45/16. Interested to know if any one on lowered suspension is running 205/45/16. Apart from the 8mm difference in diameter, I can't think of any reason not too, particularly seeing 195/45/16 is so rare.

It shouldnt be a problem... I have 215/40R17 on mine (which is bigger in overall compared to the 205/45R16) and I have no problem of rubbing. Even turning the wheel at full-lock... plenty of room still.
