Default Will 205/55's on 16in. rims fit on an S4?
Looking to buy new winter tires for my 16" rims. Looks like Michelin no longer makes the Pilot Alpins in a size 225/50R16. Considering Dunlop Winter Sport M2's in a 205/55R16 configuration.

It is a bit narrower for better performance in the snow. I'm concerned about the increase in sidewall height(about 0.44 in.), and if there is enough clearance?

Anyone else will this size tire on 16" rims?

Sure they do. I have a separate set of 16" rims for winter driving.

I've also run 16" wheels - a few styles will fit, not all.
