Default Mean Rubber Rar!

Hey guys I have 16inch 5 star chrome pony rims. My car is lowered some from Eibach prokits. On the back I have 245/50-16 rubbers and I like the way they look. It looks like it still has room. I was wondering what size could I use or go up too to give it a mean full look?

I'd go with some 275's if you don't mind the widewalls being rather round. I actually like that look. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

16x8 probably a 265 to maintain an even look on the wheel

I have 245/50/16's also and it looks awesome. I wanted to go wider in the back also but I was told by the tire store that if I went wider in the back it could develop problems in the steering and handling on curvy roads and it would hydroplane more easily. They said if I was going to be racing it all the time it wouldn't be a problem. But he did say that they widest I could go was 295 before it started rubbing.

IYOU'LL HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR RIMS BUT IN THE REAR YOU CAN GO UP TO A 295. IN THE FRONT 270.
