factory 16" rims

[timmysgtp]

i have a 2002 gtp and i was wanting suggestions on what tire size should i go with? should i go factory 225 60 16? or should i do a lil more sgressive look and go with 245 50 16?

by the way it's my factory rims! I wanna get rid of the big ol 20" wheels so imma go stock for a while til I save up and get some better rims

i vote 245/50s. i wish i would have gone with a wider tire

245/50/16 is the biggest you want to go. i ran them and they looked good as well as performed well.

Tires in your sig are TINY, much like your... eyes.

I like the flat sidewalls on some tires, I think that looks pretty damn sporty and what not. Is there a term for tires having flatter sidewalls?

I vote 235/55 or 235 60's on a stock wheel... I really hate the big ol' redneck bulging sidewall. And I can say that, I drive fbodies. I know redneck. LOL.

that's I asked because I don't want something that sticks out 2 much I want something that's gonna be pretty much gonna sit flush on the rims buts still a lil wider I think I might go with 235now that the more I think about it

Wise idea. Here are 235/60's on stockers...

The wheels just aren't wide enough for much more, IMO. Depending on brand, some are cut a bit fatter than others, so if ya look around, you'll probably be satisfied.

I cant see the pic you posted... Can you try again so I can see em? Thanks

they are tiny cause they were free and i needed tires. they are 50's and i would highly suggest not getting that size!

this is why i'm getting 235/55's:

wider tire, but still w/ side wall! unlike my sig. lol

245/50/16 is the biggest you can go. here they are on my old one:

they fit. they will not roll off the bead. they hooked well.
