Stan, Lisa,
Did you have problems on all 4 wheels/wheel wells/wheel mouldings? Or was it just certain ones? If it's just the back, then maybe 16x8 may be a little tight, even though some owners may have been able to make it work ... also, what size of tire are you running, if it's a 70 series (e.g., 225-70R15) then maybe it's a little too tall and maybe you should consider a 60 series tire (e.g., 225-60R15)... also, maybe your tires may be a little wide... if you have rubbing problems with 225's, then you might consider 215's ... last, but not least, many of these problems can be corrected by "freshening up" the car's suspension, i.e., springs, shocks and maybe even alignment (alignment especially for front tire problems) ... I hope this helps ...
