I would say 225/50R16 and 245/45R16. The 245/50R16 is not a good size to run as they are 1" taller than stock.

Pretty much only track tires come in 245/45-16. If you want the best tires for the street, stock sizes are it. Or you could run 225/50-16 all around, but the fronts would pooch out quite a bit, kind of an ungainly look...

The only option at this time is the Fuzion ZRI. If I can help let me know.

Jim, I hope you're around, lol.

What effect would that 1" taller than stock tire have on the car?

You will be traveling faster than your speedometer reads.

And the odometer and gear ratio will be off. Plus if you don't put a taller tire on the front the anti lock brakes would be off.
