245/50 16r ?

Has anyone ever put size 245/50 16r's on an LS? Will this size clear or do I need to go up in rim size also?

Over all diameter is okay, but not sure that width will fit on a standard wheel.

The width of the standard steel rim is 6.5", for that size tire you need a minimum of a 7" width and ideally something closer to 8-9".

Here's a link to a wheel and tire size comparator that a bunch of us use here.

Welcome to the site BTW a 255 will go in there, if you like fatty tires like me.
