Will 215/50/16 on Rota Slips Rub?

Im looking to buy 16" gunmetal slipstreams w/ a polished lip. The tires are kinda confusing to me tho. Will those tires fit my 5th gen HB with a ~2 inch drop. Will rubbing be a big problem? Thanks mucho for the help in advance, and im looking forward to getting some kick ass rims soon...

Major rubbing problems. I had 215/45x16" with 16x7.6" wheels and 45mm offset and it rubbed with a 1.5" drop.

I have 215/45 16 Azenis Sport tires on a set of 16x7 Rota Grids. They rub sometimes on curvey roads, and if I turn the wheel full lock they rub the inner metal of the wheel well. Not too bad though, I'm at about a "1.7 drop.

205 tires are standard size for 7 inch rims, and try a 45 series tire instead of a 50. You wont rub as much and itll look better. Discount tire will hook u up
