205/55/16 Fitment - Any rubbing issues?

I see some NAM members run 205/55/16's......... Looking at switching from the Conti OEM bone jarring runflats to Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S performance all-season tires...... Looking for comfort over handling.

Will I have any rubbing issues running 205/55/16's on stock wheels?

The Exalto's do not come in the OEM size 195/55/16....

You should not have any issue with stock wheels. I have slight rubbing out back with 205-55s on Rota RBs.
