the front 245/50/16
the rears 255/50/16 you might be able to run 255/50/16 is the front but i think they rub alittle when you turn not 100% sure on that not to many companies make 255/50 any more so just stick with 245/50 10mm wont make a difference you cant tell by looking at the tire on the car anyway! good luck

Running a 245/50/16 will be your best bet, even though you can squeeze a slightly larger tire on the rim. It is a common size, and you will be able to buy a better tire for less money than if you went to a 255/50/16.

I installed the 245s on the front and the 255s on the back and everything is fine. If u are looking to purchase tires go to discounttiredirect.com it is the discount tire website, but offer a better selection on tires than discount stores. I purchased Falken tires for my iroc in those sizes and they were $290 total. Shipping was free.
