I have 245/50/16 all the way around right now but i would like to go a bit smaller up front.What size front tires should i go with? Or should i keep it as is?

if you arent having rubbing problems, stick with what you have. your best bet on pony wheels would be a 225/55/16 but the difference in size wont be incredibly noticable. dont go narrower than 225 on the pony wheels.

225/50/16 or 225/55/16. I'm not a big fan of fat tires on all four corners, thats more of a road race thing (and putting 245's on a 7 inch wheel contradicts that theory anyway:shrug:)

the 225/50/16 will have a smaller overall diameter, creating a bit of a raked stance. the 225/55/16 has almost an identical diameter as the 245/50/16 so it keeps it looking normal from the side, but a low 3/4 angle shot will show a very slight difference in widths
 
225-55 is the same heigth as a 245-50 I had 225-55's up front on my last mustang and 245-50's out back and I liked it alot because the fronts didn't stick out with the 225's like they did with the 245's. I'll see if I can find a pic real quick.

Don't mind how dirty the car is in the first pic.......I was going through a stage of I didn't care about the car and I ended up taking it off the road because all the little things going wrong. That's 225-55's up front and 245-50's out back to give you an idea
