Tire for 16x9.5 wheel?
I am looking for tires what will fit into 16x9.5 inch wheel. The wheel fit on FD fine no rubbing, currently using 245/45/16 with a lot of stretch.
Is it better to put on 245/50/16 or stay with 245/45/16 ? I can't find larger 16 inch tires on tirerack.

Race tire you could go with Hoosiers 275/50-16 or Kumho's 265/50-16
