    yeah they actually dont make mickeys in 245 for 16in rims, so the 255 would be close because they do run wider

    Nittos actually makes a 245/50 16 in the NT555R

    Ya that's true but I guess I will just order them up and see if they fit was hoping to drive them to the track so I suppose I could see how much different they are than the 245/45-18 I'm running now
