I happened across a set of 4 IROC wheels with 3 brand new tires for 100 bucks. three of the wheels are in really good shape, the one i will need to replace though. But still, couldnt pass up the deal for 100 bucks!!

anyway, my question is whats the minimum and maximum size tire i could put on the REAR wheels? im gona stick with the 245's up front, but i want wider in the rear, i was thinkin a 255 or even higher if its possible.

 

Stock IROC-Z Wheel size is 16x8(marked front & rear due to the different offsets) and used tire size 245/50/16 front and rear. Max recommended size is 255/50/16.

 

255 was what I used in the rear. But if you want to research tire sizes

ok, looks like a 255 is what im gona be getting since i cant rotate them anyway.. thanks.

 

you know whats totally ****ed a friend of mine put 295's on the rear and amazing enough they didnt rub, now i dont know if he used spacers or not but wow, i was amazed the sidewall came from the bead and out about a inch..nuts.

 

yea, i dont want that to much. the less the better.
