You can do 255/50/16 out back. Only about 0.3" taller


Most guys run 245/50/16's. Stock size is 225/55/16. If you really want the staggered look, i'd do 225/55/16 front and 245(255)/50/16 out back

But...a lot of guys run 245/50/16's all around. That's what I did when i had my pony wheels

Check out tirerack.com. They've got BFGoodrich KDW's on closeout right now.

I have that exact tire combination on my pony wheels, they fit perfectly, even with the quad shocks.

 

[bigvino]

which tire is that on the rear?? 245 or 255 ?

 

[gxnos]

actually i just double checked, they are actually 245-45-16, 225-50-16

closeout as in gone for good?

Check out tirerack.com. They've got BFGoodrich KDW's on closeout right now.

so this was the only tire in the 225-60-15 size that is a true summer high performance tire....does this mean that I may have to retire my 10 holes?

 

[wythors]

Is the KDW2 not available in that size?

 

[bigvino]

can i get the size 50 and still lower the car without rubbing??

what type of springs or set up do i need to have that aggressive stance look... for instance.. the rear of the car is higher than the front..and it slopes from the back to the front of the car

I have kumho ecsta tires on my car 245-50-16 on pony wheels.. I just looked for a new set.. They are 80 bucks on tire rack.. Good cheap tires.. I have had them about 20000 miles so far.. Doing burnouts and beating them.. Gonna replace them in June for inspection.been a good tire overall though.. Buying them again..

 

[bigvino]

i was looking at those too... i think i saw them a lil cheaper at onlinetire.com

They are decent tires for the money.. I have no complaints.. The first time I bought them they were 63 bucks a piece..
