    or 235/60/16. theres plenty of tire choices.

    pros? fills the wheel well better, a little bit more traction in dry, depending on the tire a little bit more comfy since ur sidewall is bigger.

    cons? lil bit less traction in wet/snow, will make your 16's look even smaller... and i probably am forgetting something but whatevs.


    im stuck between 245/50 and 235/60 as of right now.

    Would 245's fit on a stock rim? Cuz im open to them as well. But I've heard they might be a bit too wide for the stock rim and will bulge out alot?

    I went 235/60 for more tire choices. I went with the 60 series cause it's my daily.

    How about a 245-60? That would work with without so much gap in the fenders. Does anyone have pics of any of these applications.....on stock wheels? That would help alot!

    Yes. It would be even taller then what I have. Anymore and I'd be selling them.
