Default Back tire pictures?

I'm gonna be getting new rear tires here in the next 2-3 weeks or so. i am debating between 245/50/16's and 255/50/16's for my new pony wheels. i was just wondering if anybody has some pictures of there car with either of those tire sizes from the rear and if the quad shock had to be flipped or not. Thanks guys!!

i was 99.9% sure they would fit without messing with the quad shocks but just wanted to double check an thanks for answering that guys.

Now i was just wondering if anybody had a shot of there car from the back so i could see what the 245/50/16 would look like and what the 255/50/16would look like.


these are the tires i will be running if i go with the DR's.

OR

2:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/245-5...QQcmdZViewItem


If i go with street radial tires then this is what i am looking at.

1:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/255-5...QQcmdZViewItem

OR

2:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-NEW...QQcmdZViewItem


these tires will only be on the rear and i will be running 225/50/16's in the fronts o just currious to what the stance would be like.

It is a bigger wheel and tire then you requested (275/40/17) but since you were asking for pics thought I might give you some. Quad shocks are still there, no modifications and no rub on the back wheels.
