Anyone using 215/50-16 Tires as Replacements?

Hey everyone:

I haven't found many people using this tire size as a replacement. I have a 2003 MINI with the 16" basic wheels. Some people have had some rubbing issues and some haven't I but can't get a definitive answer as it seems each tire manufacturer is different.

Any opinions on this size and the specific tire manufacturer they have used.

Thanks!
