Default Tire question
Will the tire size 245 50 16 fit my Impy? A buddy of mine is selling his nitto drags 555 with 90% threadlife very cheap so wanted to see if they fit so I can buy them pronto before someone else does.

Only if you have 16" wheels.

What wheels do you have? The stock Impala SS wheels are 18".

245/50/16 translates to 25.5 x 9.6 x 16". You'll have to find the width of the wheel they be on to be sure but my guess is that they'll fit.

Now that you translated me those numbers I'm pretty sure they will fit. Thanks for the info.

That size tire is recommended for 7"-8.5" wide wheels. 6.5" will work, just know that it isn't ideal.
