I just put a new set of tires for my winter rims and decided to go up one size in profile, and it rubs when im at 80-95% steer and locks when im at 100%. it does hit the fender liner when I hit a bump too hard or a pothole. other than that, drives like normal. and no fender rubbing as well.
specs are
03 lancer es
bone stock suspension that needs to be replaced. I suspect all my shocks are shot.
wheel specs are:
16x7
offset +42
tires: 205/55/16
I was wondering what size spacers should I use? 3, 5, 8 or even 10 mm?

Thought i'd share my agressive wheel fitment 17x9 + 22 all around wrapped in 215/40/17 Yokohama S.drives and lowered on BC racing coil overs. No spacers were required but rear tires if bottomed out just scrapes the dirty off the inside of wheel well. Thanks to k3lv for all the info to getting this setup.

"17x8 +48 = Too close to the inside(strut) will require spacer"
So the wheels will be close on the inside. But the tires you mentioned should fit if you get the wheels to clear. The only problem is the drop. You might be able to get a drop similar to where the S.Techs will put you. But even at that height you would want to look at rolling the lip in the rear fender well and maybe the fronts too...?
If your looking for a significant drop you might want to stick with 16" or even 15" wheels. A lot of the ES and OZ guys I've seen have had decent drops on 16s with stretched tires. There are a few pics in this thread I believe.
