I had stock height with 205 50 16's and it rubbed, I had to step down to 205 40 16's and it was fine, so I'd imagine that any wider than 205 would rub when you turn your wheel.

yeah i run 205's on my gsr's and they dont rub, i dont think it would hurt to step up a size and give it a shot, on my car it looks aas if i could fit wider, worse case senario... they rub, im sure if you take you car to a tire place they may be able to help you out on this, heck they may even put one on you car to see if it rubs... its worth a try...good luck

Looks close right now.

First, I would check to see how much travel the susp has when it hits a bump. Then I would go with a lower profile tire or smaller rim to be sure
the tire won't touch when the susp is at it's highest point.
I have a technique to measure this, and once you know, then you're
set........until you go lower...
We can also measure the clearance while turning. Call me -Bob
