Default a little help

i need some quick help guys. i need new tires on my ap1 rims. Right now im running 245/45/16 in the rear and 205/55/16 on toyo proxys. Im looking into getting the bfgoodrich gforce and my question is will 245/50/16 in the rear give me problems at all? they dont make the 245/45/16 and i'd like to run these tires. im running newspeed springs on stock shocks. quick answers will be helpful. thanks

Haha I'm guessing you mean neuspeed?

I don't think it will be a problem as those springs barely drop you over 1"

yeah a 245/50 will give it a drag radial look, those tires are not very good IMO, have you looked at hankook rs2? or RE01R?

i wanted the re01s but to my knowladge they dont offer the right size for ap1s. im trying to just get decent tires for now. nothing too great but nothing crappy. pretty much im looking for bang for my buck. any suggestions? i was looking into re750s but they didnt last too long on my brothers car. I dont drive too hard anymore but i'd like to be able to take the corner every now and then if i wanted to. If you guys could throw out some ideas for me of pretty decent tires that will fit ap1 settup i'd be helpful. thanks
