235/55R/16 and 245/50R/16...what do you think??
I was thinking of using 235/55R/16 in front and 245/50R/16 in the rear for my car. Id like to have the wide tire look in the rear, but of course with the flush look. I use to have 255/45/17 in front and 275/40/17 and it looked great. Anyone running this set up???(235/55R/16 front and 245/50R/16 rear)

the 235 55s are pretty tall compared to the 245-50's. If you're gonna run those up front, i'd recommend 255-50s in back. They will fit.

i would just go with the 245'a all the way around...it looks good and will handle better than 235's up front and you have the luxuy of being able to rotate them

well on my V6 I got 235mm65R15s and the fronts do rub if turned real tight. Now on my fomula I got firehwaks like 245mm55R16 and they dont rub at all. Well if that helps take it for what u awant.
