ORIGINAL: 4fit?

I would also run DRs. However, I believe the only 16" DR out at the moment is a 255/60, which is a 27" tire. That will effectively raise (numberically lower) your gear ratio. Get some 15s and go with 275/50/15s.
Would 255s or 275s fit w/out rubbing? I thought the limit was 245.

Here is a good site I found. Scroll down to the ET Streets. It looks like there are sizes in 8.5", 9.5", and 10" that would work w/16in wheels.

Is this 11.5in going to fit a pony wheel, or is it too wide?

Say minimum rim width is 10". Have fun squeezing that on a 7" rim.
