curious,
anyone running 255/50/16 on all 4 wheels.
I do have 4 GTA fronts on the car.
currently running the 245, but need replacing.

 

225/50r16 is narrower and shorter tire than the OE 16” 245/50 r16. The width is the first number in millimeters, the second is the aspect ratio or sidewall height as a percentage of the width of the tire. Look online at sizing charts to see the rolling diameter of the two tires. I believe there is a 225/55r16 that was an optional size for third gens. It won’t corner as well due to a taller sidewall and possibly lower rating.

 

He said 255 ....not 225.

That being said, there really isn't much to gain. Almost unnoticeable and a tick taller. I've seen a few and it just look....ehhhh....like something isn't quite right. At the end of the day it's minimal. I looked at doing it but....I dunno. No real point to it.

 

didn't ask about 225,
i have 245, thinking 255 if they will work on the front.
seen them used on the rears, but i am just wondering if anyone runs them,on all 4 corners, and maybe have a pic .
thanks.

 

Tire selection for 245 50 16 is limited. For 255s, it’s almost nonexistent. I think BFG is the only option for a daily.

 

i run 255 on my trans am there only a couple companies that sell them bf goodrich sport comp2 an federal tires that i know of

 

I'm running 255 on back. 245 on front.

 

When i had my 16" GTA wheels thats what i used w/ all front wheels. Never any real issue's

 

thanks for the replies,
ive thought it over this past week, and decided to stay with the original size.
ordered some generals. g-max.
thanks.

Great choice. You’ll like them

 

I’m currently running on 255/50R16 all around. Although I’m due to change them , they have been on the car since 86. My front have rub marks from hitting the front fender on turns. I’m wondering would 245/50R16 fit well on my wheels ?

 

your car sits higher than mine.
my bird sits low, so i was concerned about the front scrubbing.
a 245/50/16 will work fine for you.
sorry for the late reply, had it turned off.
