I've got 225/60 on here right now and I got a flat tire today. My tires are old and I want to replace all of them. What's the largest tire that can on these waffles?

Do you have 16's? Or 17's?

Cause I run 245/45/17's on my GT. And I could definetly go bigger if I wanted.

I've got the 16s. I wonder if the 245s will still fit.

How wide are the 16's? Are they 8'' wide? If so you can definetly run 245's. You could go bigger but it will start to look bad IMO.

yeah for some reason, Nitto tires run really narrow. I know in a 315 size, Nittos are over an inch narrower than a Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tire.
