Tires 23, Not sure they have an alignment rack, but awesome prices, and Billy is a pleasure to deal with!

I have seen a few 7's with stock rims able to fit 245 on the wheel.

is this possible or am i seeing things?

does this make the install more difficult? or do the 245 fit just like the 225?

ditto on tires23, at least for the tires i was looking for.

245?
on a stock 16x8 FD wheel, yeah no problem.
for the 16x7 FC wheels, well maybe. it's not so much an issue of it physically fitting on the wheel but rather if it will clear the suspension in the front.
there are tons of threads, including a big one, in the wheels & suspension forum about what tire sizes/wheels will fit.

talontires.com has done great work for me with tire purchases. Great price, cheap shipping, no PST as they're in Quebec.
Simone Performance Imports is amazing for alignments. They're in Newmarket - I drive over an hour to get them to align my car. http://www.simoneperformance.com/

I have a good set of tires on the back right now.

When i get my new tires installed should I put them on the rears or fronts?

I will be getting the car aligned after the tire install.

if they are 2 different tires will the car not drive as smooth if i had two of the same tires?
