Default Mt 255/50r16

I was looking on Jegs web site and it says the MT 255/50R16 should have a 10" rim. My stock tires are 245/50 16. Will the MT's fit my stock rims?

10 inch rim why? a buddy of mine runs them on the stock 16 inch wheels just fine and they hook great, he cut a 1.59 60' and he makes 550 to the wheels with the spray.

how do you like those afr's?

Thanks for the info. I'll be ordering them 2moro for sure. With the mods I have, there's no traction at anything below 30 mph. As far as the AFR's, they must be good because this thing is a rocket. Still need to get it tuned with LS1 Edit. Probably going to have it done at A&A Corvette.

Yes. The cam has lift of about .590 but I don't know other specs. When my car was stock, I raced a Z06 vette and got toasted. Mine is probably a little faster than a Z06 now as far as the engine, but vettes are lighter and have more weight on the rear so I need the tires real bad.

Got the nitto dr's. I can still spin them a little on the street but they are stock size 245 50 16 and have about 30 psi. Still, way better than the stock tires. I can gas it hard off the line and they bite pretty well.
