Correct Tire Size

Guys, I am going to 7" & 8" x 16 wheels on my 911SC. What is the recommended tire size for these wheels and is there a fitment issue ? I have 6" & 7" x 16 on the car now Thanks for any input !!

You can run 245/45/16 on the rears on the 8's... You can also run 225's upfront but will need to roll the fenders.

Oh HaHa
Those look great !!! Mine will be the same except I am thinking of leaving the silver center caps ... My brushed silver 911SC emblem will be the only other color on an all black car. Updated front valance with tucked in fogs, early whale tail, baby bumperettes ala Jay Moore and my car will be ready for the next go around of changes:=)
