Sidewall flex (psi)...



205 may be a bit narrow to run on 7" wide wheels. An extreme case would be the rieger, with 195-50's
on 9" wide fronts (courtesy prev owner). Even with that extreme size difference i dont get sidewall
rub, even in extreme cornering (which i do often). I do run yokohamas though, may make a difference.
Also, body roll comes into play (of which the rieger has no choice but to have none).
