k i put in all my info at tirerack.com and it says stock equipment - 235's optional stock equipment - 245's.... i KNOW i have the stock 5 straight spoke rims... but what size are they? cause the itres i have on now are VR 255's... 50 16.... ummm? what do i do?

 

The 235/55-16 was the standard tire. 245/50-16 tires will fit just fine. It was a performance option from the factory.

 

235/55/16 is standard
245/50/16 was the optional speed rated tire
Your rim size is 16x8
The tire you have on your car now should fit without a problem. So you can replace it with the exact same tire (255/50/16. I'd stick to the 245/50/16 on the stock rim though. Get yourself some Kuhmo Ecsta tires, they seem to be a great tire for the price. Anything will fit and work properly with your speedo though as long as its 255 or 245/50/16

 

the 255's have 20 grand on em and they are working fine... and i want the widest tire possible... can't i just stick with 255?

 

I've got the Kuhmo Ecsta's in the 245 size. I like them a lot. Great tire for the price.

 

what about 255/55/16...will this tire fit on salad shooters?? because i have 215/60/16.......and i want my rear and front tire to be close in height....

 

I have the Kumho 255/50/16's on a set of salad shooters in my garage. They fit just fine. The width difference is barely noticeable.

salad shooter = the straight 5 spoke optional rims?

 

yep, the stockers.

The salad shooter is not the straight five spoke!
The five spokes were on '97 up cars... salad shooters were '93-96

 

that would be correct

 

salad shooters, turbine, straight five spoke, whatever you wanna call 'em, they are 16x8 and they all fit the same. so there!

 

we can't be talking about the same thing cause my rims are the stock ones and i have a 95... with straight 5 spoke alum. rims... with the abs cap in the middle....

 

Yes, even though they don't LOOK the same as mine, they still fit the same. The 255's ARE JUST FINE. THEY WILL FIT YOUR WHEELS.

 

That's cause you got a firebird or TA then.

We were arguing about Z28 wheels for some reason... our bad.
