that can be fitted on a stock 16" pony? I think I saw 245 somewhere. Is there anywhere I could get a wider pony wheel?
thanks

245 will fit, some people even put 255 but that is pushing it a little bit.

Yeah you will be. I run 245/45s and no clearance problems with tail pipes.

You are going to rub on the front with 245 but other then that it will fit. I have 245/50 on the rear of mine.

I have heard this too...I think 5spdGT has or had 245's and said he wishes he had went with 225's...or maybe it was Jerry Beach? I can't remember for sure. You could put 245's in the back and 225's in the front, but then you couldn't rotate them...

i have had 245/50's and 245/45 on pony's, 45's rubbed so little that 1/8 spacers took care of it, but ran without the spacers later on, since it really was more an irritant than anything.
