Yikes. So are 18's in the front out of the question? Or is tire width more the problem?

17x9 w 255 up front and 275 in the rear if you wanna go staggered is a pretty decent sized combo. I think the 17" would give you a better ride than 18". I'm no expert but it seems like tire choice would have a lot to do with fitment

I've never seen wheels like mine before & still like the look with the lug nuts hidden behind the center cap. Wish they were 17's & not 16's, since my preferred tire size is no longer available. Standard height tires will rub the fender skit, only on the driver's side at full lock in one direction, only.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I'm kind of biased on deep dish fr500s as well but they weigh as much as boat anchors. I would look for original 35th anniversary wheels, steeda ultra lites, and 90s roush rims.

Chrome or polished on most. Shiny wheels- forever a classic. Silver is ok, anything but black.

Here's my Tire Chart
225/50-16 & 245/50-16 are available
225's for 7" wide wheel, 245's for 8" wide wheel.
245/45-16 are mine, now. Turns out they were also the preferred size for a Porsche 944.
One of the few street tires is Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 at $210/ea.
Another is Primwell PZ900 at $85/ea.
