245s will be fine- if possible you'll want a 245/50 though, as that is the stock wheel size with the 16" rims.

245/45/16 will fit the stock 16x8 wheels, but that size is limited and may be hard to find. This is the first time I have read about that size being used on 3rd Gen car. Why do you want to use them?????

I don't think those are IROC wheels, look like S10 wheels

"IROC wheels" vs "iroc-z rims" and I think the correct reply is.....IROC wheels. Two stripe IROC wheels (16x8) were a option in 1988 with the model iroc-z name being dropped.
