Default 245/50/16 tire question?

I currently have these on the rear, and I need new front ones. I was thinking about putting those on the front and getting 255/50/16 for the back. But, will they rub on turns?

Rims are stock 16x8"

You will be fine with 255's on the back. By a lot. I have 275's on mine and still have room, without spacers.

Mine came with 255's on the back and 245's on the front. No issues at all.

Are your rims stock 16x8? I wouldn't mind going bigger in the back but I was always told 255 is the max you can go on stock rims.

My new rims are the C5 replicas, so I went with the 275's. They are a 9.5"
wheel though.
