Tire Size

[Mr_Clean]

I was wanting to get some 245/50/16 does anyone have these size tires on their stock wheels???? If so tell me more

[Mr_Clean]

anyone....I got to get them tonight or they are gone

225/50-16 is stock. Your speedo will be off, and you'll have a little slower take offs and slower ET's with larger tires. Its up to you. I don't know if there would be clearance issues or not.

[Mr_Clean]

It is just a wider tire not a taller one that is all. It will not effect the speedo unless it is taller. Just curious about width fitting?

[Dr_Kyle]

they will fit, yes

they are wider AND taller

[Fenderman]

it is a taller tire too and will affect the speedo. the 50 in the tire size means 50% of 245 or 225. So the sidewall on the 225 is 112.5 and 122.5 on the 245.

Okay guys. Tahnkks for the avice as you can tell I do not knoe much about tires. Thanks again

I'm running the 245/50/16's on the back of my 99 GT with stock wheels. I've put a few hundred miles on them and so far, no problems. The 'Low Tire Pressure' light has yet to go off. The tires are about an inch taller then the 225/50/16's that I'm running on the front. The bigger back tire's fill the rear fenderwell nicely!

Yes but it only works on 99's, IIRC it gave a lot of false postives so they disabled for '00 and newer. I have the cutout on the dash, but it doesn't light up when I turn on my car.

hmmm that's really interesting little annoying feature.. hehe.

With 90,XXX mikes on the clock, it's been a very useful feature for me. Most every time it's gone off, there was a tire problem of some kind. I'm surprised it was dropped after the first year.
