I hate to be that guy. I’m the one to just read the already hundreds of posts on this topic and come to my own conclusions. BUT this time I need your help. From what I have read on forums and .com’s it says a 225 50 16 will fit a 66 mustang just fine. When I go to a site like tire rack and pick out a nice 16x8 wheel it only gives me the option to put on a 225 55 16 tire. I’m assuming the 55’s will create a fitment issue and that’s why a 50 is recommended. Am I crazy? Why can’t I get a 50 tire on a 16x8 wheel of my choosing? Thanks in advance for your help. I’m interested in the American racing Baja wheel if anyone is interested.

Call them on the phone, you're dealing with a computer program, it has NO COMMON SENSE.

That was my next step. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track as far as sizes go.
