I'm guna run a 225/50/16 on the front but what's the tire specs on a 245 I can run on stock ap1's that doesn't cause rubbing issues? Can I run a 245/50/16?

245/45/16 is the proper size to maintain stock diameter but there are very few tires in this size. IMO you are better off sticking with the 205/55, 225/50 stock sizes which have a large selection of the best street tires.

I agree with 1nate7....especially on the OE wheels.Many tires the same size can have a diff contact patch.The tirerack is a great place to compare and of course jim@tirerack.com is a great resource.Email him for advice.

i was gunna try 205/50r16 760 sports bridgestone and 245/45r16 re-11 bridestone but in the end the car will sit a bit to low in the front for me plus thoese rear tires cost to much, they also make a 215/50r16 that could work for the front's then youed be as wide as a stock ap2 lol. i think in the end the stock sizes are the most cost effective and offer the widest selection so i went with 760 sports all around stock sizes 2055516 2255016.
