Got a great deal on a set of 235/60/16 tires about 90% tread. Will these tires fit on my stock 01 GTP?

I run 235/50/18's(Overall Diameter: 27.25 in) and I'm dropped at least 2", you'll be fine... And yes it does fill the wheel wells better
Will there be some rubbing? When I eye ball it next to the rim on the rear, the shock seem to be really close but I do like to fill in the wheel wells. Thanks for the replies!
No... it may seem like it would but your not taking into consideration how it actually fit on. Overall height would be 27.1 vs 26.7 leaving a 0.4" difference. Now you have to consider that this is overall, so you will be actually raising the car 0.2" for the bottom and 0.2" for the top so the tire will only be a 0.2" closer to the strut mount. Not 0.4" like it appears. You will be fine, but your speedo will be off a little, don't forget that.
Hey boosting98,
Got the flu bug and wasn't able to install them. How close is real close? Are you indicating rub if I have rear passengers? Feelin better and might get them on tomorrow.
I've been running that size for a year now. Zero signs of rubbing.
I don't have any. But a small spacer would push em out more if ur concerned.
What your car will look like:
