Default Tire Size

I have a 1994 Camaro Z28 and currently have tire size 245 50 R16. But have access to fairly new Hankook tires size 225 60 R16. They are not quite the same, any thoughts? Does anyone foresee a problem with changing them?

Do you think they will rub anywhere? or look just wrong to be on a Z28?

They'll fit your runs but look pretty funny

225 60 R16 is probably the most common sedan tire size out there, small for a Camaro but will work fine. They would be better in the winter I suppose...
