Default Tires

I'm thinking of going to 225-45-16 front and 245-45-16 rear on stock wheels. Any clearance problems?

You might want to ask this in the wheel and tire section. I don't see you having any problems. But you might want to run 225-50-16 in the front.

wow, that's going to be oversteer city.......what other suspension mods do you have? 225s up front and 245s in the back will totally destroy the stagger on a car already biased towards oversteer

For non-OEM tires most people go with a 205/55-16 in the front and a 245/45-16 in the rear. A 225 in the front will give you a lot of sidewall bulge.
