This past season I was running on some used Hoosiers but for next year I will go for the cheaper Hankooks. I was running 225/50-14's on the front and 205/55-14's on the rears on my Golf. I would like to just order 6 tires for the season and rotate them to last instead of getting two different sizes. I have had some slight rubbing on the rear fenders with the 205/55's, so want to make sure the 225/50's won't rub. I have 20mm spacers all around but don't think thinner spacers would work since the tires would rub on the springs. Looking at different tire sites, a 225/50 Hankook is as wide as a 205/55 Hoosier.
Does anybody have any real world experience doing the same and how were the dimensions? Any problems with rubbing on the rear?
