As the title says, I am looking to buy some AP1 wheels and I found some that seem pretty nice and come with tire with 70% tread left. The tires are Fuzion tires. Sizes are 215/55/16 in the front and 245/55/16 in the rear. I thought the rears were supposed to be 245/45/16. Will these cause a problem at all? How is the handling with this set up? Tread life? Let me know if I will be wanting to change tires as I don't want to pay for both right away. Thanks.

Those are some goofy-arsed sizes. The rears (if they're *really* 245/55-16's) are 1.6" taller than stock! Fronts a mere .5" taller.

205/55-16 front, 225/50-16 rear are the stock sizes.
245/45-16 rears are fine, but the *best* tires for most usages are not available in this size.
To *me*, 205/50-16 fronts go better with the "alternate" 245/45-16 rear size.

If the tires on the car don't rub, I wouldn't worry too much about it, but for sure get more appropriate sizes next time!

Ok the person just said that the tires are actually 205/55/16 and the rears are 245/45/16. Don't know why in the original for sale add they said the sizes I listed above. They are the Fuzion ZRI tires. Are those decent for handling and all? I need new tires anyways in the front of my car and I have serious rubbing cause my wheels are bad offsets. From the reviews they seem to be pretty good for over all handling and all. Not as good as the S02's but much less also.

Ok thanks. Forgot about their reviews. Well seems like most people like it on there. Seems to get a pretty good rating over all. Guess I'm going with these wheels and tires then. I'm sure it will be a big improvement from my 17" wheels with Dunlop SP5000's in the rear and almost bald tires in the front.
