Wider than stock tires

Ok, I am looking to get new tires for the rear today. I would like to go as wide as I can on a 16x8 rim. Right now I am running 245-50-16 and need to go wider. Can ya'll help me out please? Thanks

you can only go to a 255... there may be more sizes, but for a 16x8 thats about as big as you can go...

No way . . . I have the same rim and put 295 on them. My tires are not slipping on my rim even though my car has 545 rwhp.

Hmmm, hard to believe, but need some pictures to see it for myself.
