Will these tires fit my car?
I'm looking to get Firestone Firehawk INDY tires, 245/50/R16 for my 92 Z28. These are the same size that are on my wheels now, but although TireRack says they fit my car, Firestone's website says they won't.

Not looking for other recommendations, these tires seem to perform quite well and have snow traction (which is a must), and the price is perfect, so I'm pretty much set on them.

Any of you guys know about or have them?

Thanks.

pretty sure they should fit, you have the 16x8 inch wheels right?

I think so...is there any reason they shouldn't be?

They're the same stock 92 tires in this pic:

Sorry guys, I didn't know that pic was so big, but it does illustrate the idea really well.

Those tires should fit fine. a 245/50 tire is stantard issue for most GM 16x8 wheels found on 3rd and 4th gens.
