Just my $0.02 worth...I always thought the 245/50s were a bit wide for the OE wheels to start with. Going even wider probably wouldn't help your handling, if that's a priority for you. Secondly, unless you plan on going with a CCW, HRE, or other 3 pc. wheel, I think your choice of 16" wheels to "uprade" to in the future would be limited.
