The car sits now from the previous owner:

Front 16x7 225/50
Rear 16x8 225/50

So yes, really trying to figure out what to do in front. The current 225/50 on the 7" don't rub fenders or rather they've been slightly rolled by the tire already. So no issues running 205/55 or 225/50 for this car.

The R888 doesn't have a 205/55 or 205/50, the R888R doesn't have the 225/50. I guess I'll have to figure that out....

Is the 205/55 for the 16x7 fronts mentioned the right motor sports oriented tire I should be shooting for?

Anyone mix the R888 with R888R as a solution?
I'd run 205/50 & 225/45 A052 or R888R either is a bit shorter than the 205/55 & 225/50 that was the stock 16" sixe

The shorter tires(almost as short as 15s in the 205/225 sizes) will give you a little more grip and also free up a some extra torque for acceleration and allow the car to be set up at a lower ride height
