tire question

[TheSparo]

alright, im thinking of getting a good deal on some wheels, 16x7 and 16x8, so i was thinking about tires, how about 225/50/16 front and 245/50/16 rears.. would those be pretty stiff sidewalls? because i want some good traction
i would rather not go for 205's up front because thats what i have on my stockers... i just want a nice, very, curvy road friendly tires...

anybody? :smash:

Why stagger? 16x8 all around with 225s will be nice. 225s on the 7 inchers will be a little sloppy feeling.

yeah.. no reason to stagger necessarily if you want something with good cornering.

If you go with those wheels, then 225/50-16 up front and 245/45-16 is great...

Don't use 245/50-16...too large for the rear.

reason i am going to stagger is because the set of wheels comes like that, otherwis ei would go 8" all around...
also would the 50 be too big for the sidewall? i thought it would be alright, and why would it be too sloppy to have 225's up front...

225*.5 = height of sidewal... i imagine it wouldnt be too bad. and this would reserve the stock diamiter of the tire.
