I doubt it, the guys putting my tires on had a *hard* time putting 225/50's on my 6.5 wheels..

Default I would not do it.

For 6.5" wheels the recomended tire width is 205MM. It is OK to go + or - 10mm.
You would be going 40mm over the recomended width. 245MM recomended wheel width would be 8.5", or 8" at a minimium. The a 245mm tire may be mounted on a 6.5" rim, but I would not bet my life on it.

Default Tire Sizes

235/50 16 is the widest size I recommend. 245/50 16 should fit on your wheels though, they should be 7 inches wide.
