    Can you fit a 255/50zr16 on a stock 1998 gtp with the stock gold snow flake looking wheels with no problems?

    those rims are only 6.5" wide, so id only run a 245/50/16. 255 is getting pretty big and whoever is mounting your tires is going to want to kill you.

    All of the tire places around here say the tires to big and they can't put it on. No one has even tried so now I'm stuck finding someone to put them on

    it can be done, but the only time I would ever run on 255s is with MT slicks at the track.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
    2009 HEMI RAM- Mods are in the works!!

    its a big tire for a skinny rim. there is a decent chance that you could roll the bead if you had enough sideways action.
