Default tire question

i have a 88 gt with the 16x7 pony wheels and was wondering what size tire would give a good look.i am running a 225/50 in the front and was debating between 255/50 or 255/60 in the rear. what would look the best and would i have any problems fitting either one. thanks

you can squeeze a 255 50 16 on the rear but it may rub on cornering the tail pipes... my friend did just that and that was the only issue he had.. I run on my 92 the exact combo addermk2 just mentioned and it works great
