Those will be basically the same height as the 225/55-16's (25.74" vs. 25.64"). The wheel well will be filled the same and your speedo will not be off. Just check for rubbing on the front.<br /><br />As for brands...ask 10 people here on the board and you will get 10 different answers. But to make a recommendation we'll need to know if you're going for handling, straight line traction, both? And how much are you looking to spend? <br /><br />Sean. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,11,1,22,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> definitely go with 245/50-16's <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>zpyro35</b> <br /><small>Member # 3745</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,11,2,17,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> how much bigger on the first number can you go on stock wheels?
