Any potential problems with this combo?

I doubt there would be but thought I would ask some of the more experienced people on here.

I have decided on the wheels and tires I am going to get to replace my runflats and s-lytes.

First a set of AK Monza 16" with a 44mm offset and 13.9 lbs.

And going to wrap them with some Bridgestone Potenza S-03

Looking to go with a 205/50 but other options are 205/55 and 215/55. (any preferences?) Think anything else would be pushing it a bit much on rubbing issues.

They will be used mainly for daily driving (spirited) with some track days in there. Also since I am in Hawaii snow isn't a concern at all but heavy rain is.

205/55 is a better choice, and the addional sidewall will protect your squeeze cast wheel selection.
