Talking 255/50/16s are on!!

For anyone wondering about this. The 255 is the largest you can fit on the stock 16x8. Just got mine mounted today, however it was to dark for pics when I left. Should have some tomorrow.

They are bad ***, with a fat sidewall

The only ones I'd consider, and there are only a few in that size, are the G Force Sports. I ran that size on my last two Z's. Loved the look for a 16.

I had G-Force Sport 255's on my car too, they are a really good street tire. I just recently switched to M/T 255's.
