Widest Tire on 300zx wheels ?

I have 300zx NA wheels on my car, and it is time for new tires. I was wondering if I can run 245/50/16 all around without problems? I am dropped with Eibach springs btw.

If i can use 245 series, what would be a better size ? 245/50/16 or 225/50/16 all around?

245/50 will be stretched a bit much IMO, I'd stick with 225/50.

I've run 245/50s and 245/45s on Z32 (7.5s) with out issue. I'll more than likely go with 245/50s for my next set of tires. Looking at the specs for a Bridgestone, BFG, Conti, they show 245/50s on 7"-8.5" wheels and 245/45s on 7.5"-9" wheels. They even show the 255/50 on wheels from 7"-9" wide...at 26" they are a bit tall.
