Hey all,
I am trying to get some tire info, I always loved the way Trans ams looked with the 245-60-15 inch tires all the way around on 15x8 in. wheels.What I was wondering is I purchased a set of 16x8in. Gta wheels and I would like that same large tire look,do they make a 245-60-16in?
and would this be the same width and diameter as the 15in? thanks

No but they do make a 255-50-16 taht will fit. Do you have four "fronts" or fronts and rerars? I ran those on my 78 TA and they handled well.

I didnt know that there was a difference how do you tell?

The "fronts" are almost a zero offset, the rears have alot of the wheel shoved inboard. They should als say on the back side.
