I know there's probably so many threads about this but I tried searching and looked through so many threads and couldn't really find an answer.

I'm going to be getting new tires soon as I bought new wheels, and I wanna know if 205/55/16 would be too big for our car? Anybody run this size? Or should I just go with 205/50/16?

I got the car with similar dimension (195/65R15, same diameter as 205/55R16) when i bought it, so I guess you shouldnt have a problem using that dimension.
You need to know though, that your speedometer reading is going to be off for a few percent and that the car's handling is going to be different (acceleration, breaking, steering). At least that's what I noticed with that dimension.
