Default Tire Fitment on New Wheels

Hi,

I just bought a set of 16" Eagle Alloy 077s, and I'm looking for confirmation that the tires I want will fit.

The tire code is:
P245/50R16 96S

I read abit about decyphering the numbers, but I'm still hesitant to go ahead and buy them.

Thanks for any and all help!

You are missing a key bit of information. What is the width of the Eagle Alloy 077's? If its only 5" wide, then no, the tire is way to wide. If its in the 8"-10" range it should be a perfect fit.

16x8 should be no problem. That's what I use to run on my 16x8's

That's a stock size tire for a stock size wheel, it'll fit nicely.
