Euro Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) On polished GP 5 spokes? 245/50R16s are too wide. If you will even find a shop willing to mount them (any shop worth their salt would refuse since they are oversized), the tires will be pinched in. You will be riding around on the centers of the tread so you will wear them out prematurely. I'd just stick with a 225/60R16. I know plenty of people who have run 245's on 6.5" wheels and have had no problems. I have 245's on my Regal stock 6.5's and have had no issues. No odd premature tire wear, not tire pressure issues, nothing. And the shop I had install them gave me no hesitations 225's are too skinny, and look ridiculous on cars that are as wide and curvy as most W-bodies IMO. I think 245's will look great on the OP's car. Will help fill in the fender flares a little as far as width..but not make the car have some stupid wheel gap.

Euro Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Pretty sure yeah. The Regal wheels are 16x6.5, and stock tire size is 225/60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
