hmmm

thanks for the feedback, has anyone of you guys pic's of the rims/car? My opinion is that 245 on stock 8 inch rims look bad. they are just to wide. I had them on my old '88 iroc, so i know what i am talking about. Yesterday i saw a newer corvette, with the stock rim/tire combo. 275/40 on the back, i dunno how wide the rims are, i guess 9 or 9.5 inch. If that is a fact, then 10 inch is the ideal size for this piece of rubber. Remember, i have 255/45 on 9.5 inch rims now, and they look just right. i don't know why incrase the tire size by more than 0.79 inch when the wheel grows for only half an inch.....
again, let me see pictures please

thanks

I had 245/50/16's on my Iroc wheels on my 89 RS and I thought it looked good!!

On my 91 RS I have 18" x 9.5" C5 Vette wheels and I am running 275/35 zr18 and it looks good, on a 10" or 10.5" I think a 295 would look better, In my opinion anyway!

Here are a few pics!
