I have a 95 SC400 with 225/55/16 michelins mounted on 7x16 factory chrome rims. I'd like to run 245/50/16's in the rear. I understand from another member who's run even bigger tires than those, that he didn't have to do any modifications to the body to accommodate them. I wonder if I ran staggered tires, would the performance or handlying of the car suffer?

Thanks,

I'm running 265/35's on the rears without any rubbing issues.

 

Great, thanks for the reply Soarer.

 

are u plaing on runing the 245/50's on the stock rims?

i think the stock rims are too narrow for the 225/55's that come with the car they tend to fold in when cornering hard. so id be carful when runing anything bigger than whats supposed to be on there.

 

Thanks for the warning 97SC300.
