Like I've said before, 50 series are not 'low profile'. They are medium profile at best. Bubbling on tires is not normal, regardless of the profile. Blame the tires, not the wheels. Change brands. Goodyear Eagles aren't what they used to be 15 years ago. Nowadays they'll put the 'Eagle' moniker on a turd and sell it for $150 a pop. Look at the 215/50/17 for your tires. They will give a little more sidewall height, and are cheaper than the 205/50/17. Your speedo will only change about 1 MPH .... negligable. You should be able to find an amicable set of 215/50/17 for $85-$100 a pop. And keep in mind most every tire store will match web prices. Even Discount Tire will match thier own online prices from Discount Tire Direct.
