Tire sizes?


Is anyone using 255/50/zr16's? I am considering moving up from the 245's. Will have any clearance problems with the rear wells or front inner wells? I plan on using the stock 8' rims.

Thanks,
BILL

The only problem you will have is the speedo will read a touch slower at higher speeds

My camaro is 2mph off(slow) at 50.
