245/50/16s on rear?
 
I want to run 245 50s on the rear of my rx7 and 225 50s on the front. I seen a lot of people run 205/55 on the front which is the same overall rolling diameter as the 225 now my question is, is anyone running a similar staggered setup and if so I would like to see some pics.

See Home of the ResurreXion-7 Click on the link (left-hand side) that says "Part 2a". This is with a Mariah Mode 1 kit and 245/50/16s all around. The good news: the width is not problem. The bad news: with the competition suspension, the tires will rub on the inside of the fenders on rough road. With a stock suspension and ride height, YMMV.

Thank you! I got a fc but I'm sure its around the same thing.

Sorry. My bad.

Before I seriously modded the RXX-7, I ran 225/50/15s on all four BBS 'vert wheels with a modified suspension. I never had any problem with them. I have read other people's posts that say different manufacturers sizes are not 100% equal, YMMV.

245/50/16 is too fat of a tire. It will look like you are running on balloons.

I use 225/45 , 245/45. Not on stock wheels.

I intend on doing aftermarket wheels
