Canada 205/60/16 will they fit

I have a G5 GT with 17's 205/50/17 stock, i have sportlines on as well!

my 16" winter rims just came in and was wondering if 205/60/16 will fit my car with the sportlines?


Thanks

I have ran that setup during winter for the last 3 years and it's fine. Car looks great because there is NO wheel gap. I'm runnin sportlines as well

I have a 08 G5 GT and Im gonna get winter tires soon. Except I dont kno what size to get, that wont screw up the speedo and will still fit. You guys are talking about 205/55R16 but your also lowered, my suspensions stock. Will 205/55R16s be close enough to the 205/50R17s overall size so the speedo wont be fucked?
