Currently I have 245/45-16 rear and looking for 225/50-16 fronts.
But I noticed that rear size has limited selection and I can get more choices if I more up to 245/*50*-16 rear and 225/*55*-16 front. (and I don't want new wheels.) I expect no problem fitting the sizes. I wonder how a 0.8 or 0.9 inch taller (total diameter) tire would look on a flared car? Anyone done this or seen this, and have an opinion or a picture? Thanks.

This topic had been discussed several times over the last two months. Here's mine 245/50/16 and 225/50/16. on 8's and 9's. No issues.

Allseason- CONTIEXTREMECONTACTS- 245/50/16's on 8" rims
They set up nice on the 8's and on 9's they would really fill those flares up.
