Good Luck finding tire selection for 16's. I've had 16's for about 10 years now and I am due for tires. I run 255/50's on the rear and 245's on the front. The only rear tires I have found are either Falken or the lower end BFG's. In any other brands(Nitto, Kumho etc.) all I can find is up to 245's. Everyone seems to stop at 245. If you find some Post them here. I like my wheels, but may end up going to 17's to open up tire selection.

the only ones wider then 245 is from mickey thompson but they are drag radials. they have them in 295-50 and 315-45. i cant find normal street tires.

And you likely won't. As stated above, the size range for 16" is very limited.

Check with the tire manufacturers websites for 16" sizes. Sometimes they will have listed special sizes for OE applications that are larger than the norm.

I also run the 245/50/16 front & 255/50/16 rear- looks good on The Heap(i don't like the rubber band tire look on most cars)
as for bigger-NO DICE in the street sector-with some lookin ther are about 8 of the street 255's and a few dot race & drag models
In the 17 inch range there are plenty of choices though
