whats the biggest/widest tire i can put on my stock 16x8 rims?

 

255-50

not much selection other than that ...that would fit anyway

 

why would you want to go wider? If you need more traction, get drag tire.. if its for daily driving, then you need some larger wheels..


I just got some 17" wheels and personally, as much as everyone likes them, I have isssues with the sheer weight of them.. I have lost MPG and can feel their weight.. We are only talking about 1" increase in width per tire.. but he weight it soo bad.

I loved the 245s.. you should try out the Yokohama AVS ES100s.. If you can spin those easily, then you will be needing something wider...

 

i spin Falken Ziex-512's that are 245-50-16 lol and those are some awsome tires it takes about 1/2-1/4 throttle to spin them

 

I just got some 17x9 98-99 SS wheels....

According to my research...I can go 245/45R17 or 275/40R17. I looked all over Greensboro and High Point today and couldn't find anyone who stocked the 275 width. I didn't know I could go with the 245 at the time....but if the prices of the 275's don't improve(looking at $900 for tires!!!)...I'll be going with the 245's.

 

275-40-17 is an extremely common size for 17"s

on the stock SS wheels or any 9-9.5" wheel a 245-275 is good, not anything less or more tho really...

 

i had 265/50r16
