I have 205-45-16 Ventus K104 on ET-40 (7" wide) rims in my sotck yaris sedan, I´m planning on installing 205-50-16 Kumho ECTAS AST tires on the same rims, would there be a rubbing problem, and how much could this change will affect the steering, car response if any?

it depends on your drop

what kind of suspension are you running?

might rub the fender liner very slightly over high speed bumps. I have the same tires and wheels, the rubbing is a non issue.

Well the car has no drop, and I got the tires and have them installed yesterday, and so far I have no rubbing so far, even at high speeds, or full turn of the steering.

thanks.

Because it looks better and it about the same diameter as stock.

You will never have an issue at stock height.

Just pointing out that you said at stock height not stock springs. My rear stock springs look like DF210s already.
