Default Will 245/50 16 tires fit on my 87...

wheels (non-Z51)? These wheels are now on my 97 Camaro but since its my daily driver I need tires bad. I was told at Firestone that a 245/50 16 will fit my rim. I also found this size to be overall cheaper than the stock 255/50's I have. By the way I put the Camaro Silver 5-spoke wheels on the vette with spacers and they look sweet, I know somebody posted on this not to long ago. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. :auto:

Yes, at one time my brother ran as small as a 225 on his 9.5 rims. It didn't look that great, but he needed tires and they were cheap. This was in 1987 when those tires were stil very expensive. I have run 245's on my 84 and liked them.

Cool..It seems Im going to buy 245/50's...Im starting to have second thoughts about the Camaro 5-spokes on the Vette. They look real good from the side but dont fill up the wheel wells as good as the stock trim...Oh well :leaving:
