I was given a set of slightly used tires in this size off of a mustang. I was going to put the tread on the SC rims but thought it might be a little to spacious in the wheel wells with these size tires. Any info on how this will look or experience with this size tire? It says its about 1.77 inches shorter than stock.


Thanks, Mark.
 
I bought a Turbo Coupe with them on it. They really suck. No traction is a huge understatment. They look like kiddy car tires .
 
my sc is lowered 1.5-2" and i have 255/50/16 in back and the 225/50/16 in front. they look great but, again, mines lowered.
 
225/60R16 the tire looks fat on the rim but fits the wheelwell. 225/50R16 looks really nice on the rim but they look tiny in the wheelwell. It will give the car a jacked up look.
 
They look like black rubber bands on one of my SCs....:p

I like a taller tire anyway......:cool:

I'll shot a picture of my 5 speed with those tires on it and post them up later on this afternoon.....
 
This is the best picture I have of 225/50R16

Yeah I can definitely see the increased spacing. I mean the tires were free but I didn't want to run around making the car look bad. Thanks for the picures. A nice side shot would be great.

What tires would look the best on stock rims? I wanted to go at least to a 245 or 255....
 
Here are a few of mine....

The first three pictures are 245-60-16s, but if I remember correctly, the car is lowered 1½".....

The last picture is of one of my parts cars.....

I think they are 245s, as well but the car is at stock height.....:rolleyes:
