255/50/16 bf goodrich g-force tires?????
hey i was wondering would these tires be ok for my gta rims...
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
seems like this is the biggest tire i can put on my rims... i know they are about a half inch taller and third inch wider.... this would reduce my fender gap a tad bit..... they have a good rating and they seem MUCH better than the crappy kuhmo ecsta ast 245/45/16 tires that i have... the tires i got have a 6.7 rating while they g-force tires got an 8 rating..

maybe put them on the rear and the regular size 245/50 in the front? That way you owuld reduce the rubbing the taller tire could cause.

They will fit fine on the rear & so will the BFG 295/50s. The sidewall of the 295s are not the best for cornering forces on a track, but plenty fine on the street.

well i wanted put 245/50/16 g-force tires in the front and then put their matching 255/50/16 in the rears.... it would prolly make it abit better stance.. im just trying to get the widest possible tire on there with good handling in mind.. i just love the looks of gta rims and those are the only rims i want on my GTA unless someone decides to make 18 inch remakes... i hear that those 295/50/16 tires jack up the car alot and are horrible for handling... arent those tires like 2 inches taller and look bubbly with our rims... anyways i love to take my car on curvey roads...

Perfect size front and back. No rubbing. I run 275/45/16 Hoosiers all around.
Race car is for sale.

the G-Force line of tires is fantastic. I have the 245/50/16s (they're my second set). They wear well and grip well and look great. The 255s would only be a subtle difference and would be fine on all four corners
