New Wheels Question

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my Yaris.

I have a 2007 Hatchback, CE version (3 door)

Stock tires are 175/65-14
So I guess that means stock rims are 14" (Even though when I measure the diameter with a tape-measure, they're 15")

Anyway,

The wheels I'm looking at are Sparco Drift's from Tire Rack. 16"

I've got the car lowered 1.9" all around on Tein S Tech springs.

The Sparco rims are 16x7, 4x100 bolt pattern obviously.

Will I have any issues with rubbing with these rims with an otherwise stock setup? With 205/50-16 size tires it ends up being 1.2" wider than stock, according to http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

I was looking at getting some Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires, but I'm questioning their performance in wet conditions, so I may go for something else. Maybe some Continental ExtremeContact DW. I'm open to opinion there as I really don't know much about tires.

My plan is to get the wheels with summer tires, and put some all-seasons on the stock steel wheels because the stock potenza's completely bald. I drove the car off the road after hitting a patch of gravel around a curve...luckily all that was damaged was the stock exhaust, as I went flying off the road backwards down into a ditch and up a bank and it bent up the exhaust a bit where it already bends over the rear axle. Going to get a Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust as a replacement!

Anyway, thanks,

Tony

Edit: Holy cow was not expecting $450 for shipping. That's crazy.
