need a little advise

ok here's the situation:

i bought some new rubber for my pro5 got a good deal on some yokahama avs100's about 350 for all 4. got 205/45/16's. the ******* at the tire shop where i had them installed (would have done it myself but the balancer at the place where i do my mods was broke) said that 205'd wont fit on the stock 16x6 wheels. i told him to mount them anyway. is there going to be a problem with this?? imo i don't think so. i got about 500 miles on them so far and am very impressed. the grip is awsome. although when there cold , there about as slick as greased monkey snot. once warmed up though WOW. haven't had a chance to get them in the wet yet, but if it's half as good as the dry i'll be verry happy. thanks for any input.

The thing is....that YOKO doesn't recommend them for a wheel smaller than 7".....will they fit? sure they will....obviously...you put them on....but....if you ever have a problem with them, you have an accident and you think it was because of the tire....you are on your own since YOKO doesn't recommend them on a 6" wheel.

Also the tires might wear more in the center then the out side due to the slight cupping. Going one size wider it should be a very small amount if at all.
