: ...I have BBS RC 17x8.5 and they fit on my 86 with no trouble. The tire size is 235/45ZR17

I want to run 245/45 16's in the Rear. From a
steering/driving standpoint, it is preferrable
to grow the tire width to the outside (as
opposed to inboard). The stock TRX's said 215
but were more like 195's. This means that a
245 will be almost 2 inches wider than stock.
Now suppose I come inboard 1/2". I am still
adding ~1 1/2" to the outside.
