Wondering what tire size would go nicely/meaty on a 16x8 -0 offset wheel. I was thinking 225/50/16, 235/50/16, 245/50/16 or 255/50/16. Any opinions on the 245 and 255, will these two sizes be to wide to fit 16x8? For the fronts they are 16x8 +15, prob be throwing 205/50/16 on those. Any suggestions/help will be appreciated, thanks.

youve got the same width all around so you really shouldnt stagger, and if you do limit it to 20mm

you also have to consider the fender work that itll take to fit wider tires with your offsets

and whats your obsession with 50 series sidewalls? 205/55, 225/50, 245/45 is what youre aiming for, not 50 across the board

if you do 205 all around you could then do the 205/50s, but with anything wider in rear youll want the smaller percentage
