I have 225/50/16 comp t/a's on mine. I need to get new tires soon and i was thinking about 245's but im not sure if i will. I know people on this site have gone that big but i havent heard anything from someone that has 1.5" lowering springs like mne does.

You fella's know that 225/50R16's require 35 psi instead of 30.

The stock tire size is 225/55R16, the best thing to do is check with your tire installer (if they're worth thier beans then they should have the tech data on the tire, such as approved rim width which is mucho important)
