Ive got 16 inch phonies on my car now with 225/50 R16 fronts and 245/45 R16 rears...I think that's the size for a turbo S car...they look at little fat on the rims. Should I put the factory size of 205/50 front and 225/50 rear?

My concern is that the wheel wells may not look filled out properly.

Stock sizes would be 205/55-16 front, and 225/50-16 rear. They would fill out the wheel wells almost exactly as the 225/245 combo, since the taller sidewall of the smaller width wheels would make the overall diameter of the wheel/tire about the same.

If you have 7Jx16 wheels up front, and 8Jx16 wheels out back, 225/50-16s front and 245/45-16's rear are just fine, and you shouldn't have any issues.

those sizes look fine on stock wheels- or just get some wider wheels>

I had 245s on my 8" rims. They were fine. i had a 205/245 setup, and there was a bit more understeer than I wanted. Now I have 225s on all 7&8" rims.

The turbo has a 225/245 (or is it 255) setup, but the rears are 8.5 or 9.

thanks guys...starting to come out of the house soon since the snow is disappearing finally....and I need tires.

I'd really like some 17 inch cups but since I did so well last year I owe the CCRA.
