On my 944S2, I've been running with 16x7 front with a 225/50 16 tire, and with 16x8 rear with a 245/45 16 tire. No rubbing issues whatsoever.

For this coming season, I'm migrating over to race tires, and plan on using the following setup: 16x8's all around shod with 245/45 16's. From what I've heard, I shouldn't have any rubbing issues. Why the change? Two main reasons:
1. The bigger contact patch up front will help eliminate some of the understeer my car exhibits.
2. I can rotate the wheels front to back to help even out the wear.


HTH,
