Will 215/50/16 fit without any problems? Looks like this size is very close in overall dimensions to my stock 195/55/16 runflats. Also, the r84 rim is 6.5 inches wide, is that o.k. with 215 tires?

Thanks,

Paul.

215/45/16's fit fine, plenty of space so I'd say 50's will fit too

That size what I'm hoping to replace my 16s with when the time comes.
The slightly larger rolling diameter should make the speedo more accurate.
It may have a slight impact on off the line acceleration but I'm not really worried about that.
It's only 1% larger in diameter.

Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 come in 215/50/16 They are not runflats. Cost is about $77 per tire. From what I have read, the ride comfort should increase over my harsh ridding runflats.
