Yes I am aware of the differences in the steering rack.
My SE stock came with 205/60R15. All the other sizes I listed are the correct plus 1 size for larger wheels based on this size.
I have used 205/60R15, 205/55R16, 215/50R16, 205/50R17 and 225/45R17 on my SE and SVT. The only rubbing issue I have had is with the 224/45R17 and the rear fenders. But this is because of the offset on the OZ Supperleggeras, iirc.
