Some questions

Soo...
1. Quick question, will a 245/50/16 fit up front with out sticking out??
2. What's the biggest offset that we can run without rubbing/sticking out??
3. Largest fitment in the rear is?
4. Will 16x8 with a 45mm offset fit up front? If so how big of tires u think I can run?

Plan is 245/50/16 up front 225/50(55)/16 in the rear.
Awnsers, comments, help... Thank u

Your lowered right... kinda hard to say when factory dynamics are changed up but I would think you'd be alright. If you were going bigger with the height I'd say be careful but 16x8 with 45 mm offset should work with about 2" drop if suspension is tight/strong.

I am running 245/45/16's all the way around. IMO 245/50/16's with a +45 wheel will not work in the front or back. This is just me guessing, I have never taken measurements, but I would think that you wheel/tire would hit your struts. Then to correct that you would need to space them out, then they may stick out from your fenders. I will try to find my thread for you to read, but I am running 16x8.5" +37 wheels with 245/45/16 tires and I do not rub. I am also running a 10mm spacer in the rear.

Also why do you want a 20mm skinnier tire in the rear?

*edit* here is my thread

interesting to know people have pulled 245's off, i talked to someone and he thinks rolling my fenders i can maybe pull off 245's or even 255's but i never knew its been done

hate to threadjack lol, but im trying to find some used tires for my Rays (17x8.5 +40 offset), would 245/40/17 or 245/45/17 work?

You want more nearer to +35 to fit 245's under the maxima +45 pushes the mounting point out further to the face of the rim.
