GTA wheel's and tire size question

Does anyone see a problem running 255/50/16's on 16X8 GTA rims on an 86 TA that came with 15X7's from the factory? Car has stock suspension. Going to pick up a set of GTA's from Hawks in black and want to make sure I get the right size tire on them. Thanks for the help!

Yeah 255s on the rear wouldn't be a problem, but 255's on the font will rub badly. I have 245s on my GTA all around and my front wheels still rub when the wheel is cranked all the way.

I've had 255s up front on my stock wheels, no rub. Currently have 275s up front on 17" x 9" wheels, no rub.
