Tire Recommendations

So Im rolling on my stocks still and I was wondering,
I like my 245/50/16s up front, but would want something a lil bit bigger out back like a wide 255/50/16 thats if there is such a possibility. Ive seen M/Ts and they look great, but short on cash. Can anyone recommend me such a tire or brand. Pics welcome.

BFG G force Sport or Falken 512 since you are on a budget

^+1 on the BFG G Force Sport. They use thesd tires at the Skip Barber racing schools. When I drove on them at Elkhart lakes they have very good dry grip.

Save your money and get some 17s or 18s so you can actually run a 275 tire
