Quick tire question
Search is down 
GTA wheels 16x8
I know 255/50/16 will fit because I have them in the rear
How will the fronts be affected?
Concerning turning and rubbing and common stuff

Scrubs in the front in sharp turns...otherwise no problem.

Re: Quick tire question
On some or most 3rd gen cars, the 255/50R16 will rib while on the front positions at full lock. I would put 245/50R16s on the front and the 255s on the rear. This will give your car a bit of rake.
