White letter 245/50r16's

Do these things even exist? :/ I've been wanting to get white letter tires for my 15th Ann., but I've had NO luck in finding even one set. I doubt they're even made, which bums me out as I have a set of high tech turbo 15's, and the original aero-wheels that came with my T/A. I don't mind the 15's, but I'm going back to the stock wheels and would love to find white letter, or at least white-line tires.

Not sure if I missed it in their brochure, but they didn't have the exact size. The closest I saw was the 80's vette 255/50r16's. =/ These tires are a pain to find, and I doubt I will. But I'm continuing this search. lol

You can run 255/50R16s on your stock 16x8" wheels. If you can't find that size, Tire Rack is showing that BFG still makes them in the g-Force T/A.

Hm, I see. I had checked Tirerack a couple times, and I even checked in that 255/50 size, and it did come up with the G-force T/As, but they were blackwall.
