Need some help here - I'm in the middle of a 3.6L conversion on my flared car. Running 16 X 8's fuchs up front and 16 x 9's in back.
I was planning on 225/50's up front and 245/45's in the back, but the 245's seem like they are not being made for the street anymore - Tire Rack only has 1 street tire available in that size. Does anyone run a different size in the rear on 9" wheels, or have any other suggestions. Thanks for your help. Mike |

Big O has 245/45/16 euro spec tires. I run them on my 914. They grip and handle great. Plus I get the Big O warranty, free repairs and rotation.

They're out there. Fuzion, Hoosier, Kumho, Hancook, and BFG to name a few.
