The only thing that sucks now is that I have 16s and my wheel wells look super big now! lol. Oh well. Hurray for new tires.

Good choice for the brand and model of tires. But from the way you described it, I would assume that you had undersized them.

Nah. The size is right for the wheel. I just have 16" 325 sport wheels. lol.

There is no such thing as the right sized aspect ratio for the wheel.

You should have bought 205/55/16 or 225/50/16, and everyone told you that back when you were shopping. I still have no idea why you wanted to run such tiny tires.

because I like them.... Why do people stretch their tires? I think it's stupid, but they like it..

Stretching is so that they can fit wider wheels.

Your choice served to real purpose to me...but I digress. Your car, your decision. :)

I'm gonna be getting 50's with my 15" wheels once I get my new suspension on. I'll be running custom springs, ~2.25 inch drop
