So I've been researching all day to find the right size tires for these 16" rims. Currently my car is at stock height but looking to upgrade my suspension in 2-3 years. I want to be flexible with the option to lower 1"-1.5".

I've read/seen that some people are getting rubbing issues with 205/50r16 tires and in contradiction, photos of EP3s with the same specs with what it seems no problems at all.
So I ask, what tires should I go for? 205/45r16 or 205/50r16? I currently use this vehicle as my daily driver and have decided to upgrade so I could have a safe commute(high speed, pot holes, etc). I'm trying to find the threshold of a size tire that can accommodate safety and still look good.
Below is the specs that I found. On the left is the stock tire, the middle 205/50r16 and the right what I currently have on. According to this I should have no clearance issues right?
