Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
I am planning to buy some today, BFG has a rebate on them @ Town Fair tire. I am going to go with 255/50 in rear and 245/50 up front on Iroc single spoke wheels retrofitted on my 1983 Z.
I am repainting the wheels too, with tires off. I am planning to go with a gunmetal grey paint but looking for the best Silver color to use, any suggestions form this community?!
I suppose you're looking for those exact tires in that exact size, in which case I can't help you...
But if you just want feedback on that size, I've got a couple shitty pics of BFG Comp T/A drag radials in 255/50R16.
For street tires I can see absolutely no reason to bother. The 255 sidewall is a hair taller, but not enough difference to be meaningful. Certainly not enough difference to intentionally stagger the tire front/rear. The only reason I ran the 255 is because that's what BFG offers (offered) in a drag radial.
