To those of you who have big drops and 17"+ wheels that are saying you don't have rubbing issues, I have but one thing to say..

You're not driving hard enough

I would go with 16". Its just easier to maintain and safer in many ways described earlier. I have 205/45R16 and its looks and rides fine. I would'nt risk it, its not worth it.
