I would not run that size of a tire on the rear. Like was said that is a truck tire and is like 3" taller then the 245/50/16.

Re: lookin at tires.. will these fit?
as long as you only use them on the back, they will fit. But i agree, they wont look very good at all. And expect a big difference in your speedometer reading, I'd guess that your speedo will be off about 20mph. I use 235/55/R16's on my IROC and my speedo reads 5mph slower then i really am. The only good thing that i know of for using taller tires on the back is that you'll get better gas mileage to a certain degree. Getting new tires for our cars absolutely sucks...way overpriced.

Re: lookin at tires.. will these fit?
I have to agree with your last statement.. I ditched those tires.. Anyone ever hear of cooper zpt's? I got a new one off craigslist for 50 and put it on because i had a doughnut on.. If there not too bad, il just buy 3 more
