I've posted the question up before but I urgently need to know. I have a '87(smaller inner fender walls) Notch and I just purchased Eibach Sportlines. I need help on tire sizes because I currently am running 225/50/16 in front and 245/50/16 in rear. I'm pretty confident that it is going to rub a lot so what tire sizes should I go with? I was thinking either a 225/45/16 or 215/50/16 in front, and 245/45/16 in rear??

i dont think it'll rub and if it does it will be very little and mostly just on u-turns. i'd keep them.

If you have Pony's, your current tires should not rub.

You will, however, be LOW. Hope you have CC plates

You'll be good. You will have issues if you go to a 255 or larger, but the 245's will work fine, even if it is real low.
