Tire Size Question!

basic question:

can I run 225/50/16 front 245/45/16 rear s03 on stock wheels!

I just wanna put my current s03 in front and get new ones for the back. can the rims handle it?

I'm getting a stiffer front sway bar, so that should help oversteer.

yes you can, but its just going to be alittle wider..

 

yes

 

Go see donnieb at Discount Tire at Army Trail and Bloomingdale road.

 

Thanks guys! If I knew about Donnie earlier, I would have went, but I already ordered the tires, I have a good frient that works at just tires, so I'll just mount and align everything there!

(I FINALLY GOT AN ANSWER )

 

i think 7.5 inch wide rims can take 245 at max. so i'd think it'd be ok.

 

Yes however your car will oversteer more with the wider front tires, may be a bad thing.

Even with the bar, it's going to oversteer before it understeers.

 

got them mounted today!

s03 245/45/16 rear
s03 225/50/16 front (from rear brought to front)

Handles very nice, steering is a LITTLE BIT heavier.
Front sidewalls stick out a little bit past the rim.
Not too much difference in oversteer.
32 psi all the way around.

I'll post 'em tomorrow, or I'll swing by this weekend... they look good, but I think I could have fit 255s in the back!
