Default Stock wheels, what tires?

I have a 99 Z28 with the stock alloy 5 spokes, and the tire size i have on them is 245-50-16. I want Yokohama tires because I get an insane discount, but I cant find a tire in that size. What are some other tire sizes I can try?

They dont have any tires in that size either, The tire I really want is ADVAN NEOVA but the biggest one i can get in a 16 is 225 50 16.

How much of a discount are you getting? The tire size you're looking for can be had for pretty cheap from numerous sources.

Can you not order a set and have them sent to where you work?

At one time in the past, I had a set of Yoko AVS ES100s on some ARE 16x8 wheels. I used the 225/55/16, because they were very close to the OD of the 245/50s, so the computer was happy.
