235/50?

I'm going to need new tires on my FD in the near future. It has the stock 16x8 wheels with 225/50s up front and 245/45s in the rear. The difference between the appearance of the front and rear wheels bothers me a bit. Has anyone tried 235/50 on the stock wheels?

I don't think it would be recommended, why not just run 245/45-16's on all four corners?

I've thought about doing just that. Although they seem to have a rather low profile for a 16in wheel.

245/45 and 225/50 are almost exactly the same diameter....what's probably throwing you off is the additional wheel to fender clearance at the rear.
