I have stock 16x8 rims on my firebird. The front tire is a 235-55-16 and the rears I want to run is a MT Et Street Radial - 255-50-16. Has anyone ran the MT 255-50-16 on the stock rims with any fitting problems? Will this affect my abs? I do have a hypertech to re-program for the tire size.

should i run the 245-50-16 on the front with the MT 255-50-16 on the rear? Both on a 16 x 8 factory rim

Or would the 235-55-16 be better on the front since they have a overall dia of 26.1 and the MT 255-50-16 has a overall dia of 26.00

They'll work fine, just put them on.

do this, so as not to cause ABS issues. and have a slightly skinnier front tire for less rolling resistance.
