Default Re: 245/50-55/16's fit?

For starters, 245s can fit the rear, but not the fronts. Secondly, 245/50-55 end up with a taller sidewall which alters the speedometer/odometer.

Information using a wheel/tire size calculator:

245/50s
When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 61.6mph (99.2km/h): 2.7% faster.

245/55s
When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 63.9mph (102.9km/h): 6.5% faster.
