Anyone running "non-stock" sized tires on their 16
My 95 calls for the 225/60/16 sized tires. Has/does anyone use a "different" size tire on their car with the factory 16x7" wheels?
I know on an older Mustang with 16x7'*, I could use 245/50/16'* or 225/55/16'* without the tire looking too wide for the rims, but I also know that would be shorter than the factory size...Has anyone used different size tires, and if so, what size?
I need two, so now would be the time (if there was a time) to upgrade, or make the change at all 4 corners...
Thanks in advance.
