Anyone have expierence with wider tires on stock 16'' chrome wheels

Yes it "fits". But you are sticking a 10" wide tire on a 6.5" wide rim. I'd want at least an 8" wide rim for a 245.

Eh ok. Was just wondering I have a set of 245/45/17 left from my last dsm when I sold the TE37's. Guess they were a bit wider then stock though .

Since this thread is on the subject of tires, does anyone know the widest tire you can run on the 2GB 10 spoke GSX wheels? They at 17 x 6.5 I believe. Would a 245 fit on them?

The offset on those rims is +46 if I'm not mistaken, so they're tucked under there pretty good. Depending on tire size and ride height, you'll probably clear the fenders/wheel wells just fine. However, that much tire might rub on the inside, especially if your putting these rims on a 2ga which has 10mm less clearance on the rear knuckles. But again, the ride height and tire aspect ratio play a big part.

No offense intended, but it really isn't going to matter on a 420A that is stock. You're better off getting the 205-55-16's as they should be cheaper and should provide less rolling resistance.

The difference there ends up being a little more than 0.400" in overall diameter and, like I said in PM, 10mm (~0.390") in width. It will throw your speedometer off a little bit but will fill the wheel gap a little better. At the end of the day, it is completely up to you.

Thanks Brian! I'm gonna start posting questions and what not on threads!
Thank you for all your help and input!
