    Will a 245/50/16 fit on the stock rims? And how bad would it look on stock ride height? Thanks.

    it will fit. stock ride height it looks fairly dumb because the tires are shorter, but that doesnt stop a lot of people from doing it.

    there are 2 issues you might run into running this tire on stock rims:

    1. tire shop might refuse to mount them, since the minimum supported width on the rim is 7''
    2. youre road hazard/warranty might be void.

    Tires are on. Finally got off my ass and went to the shop. Getting an aligment in the AM. They look good traction seems better. Size looks fine in comparison to the rest of the car.
