I have the stock rims on my 99 gt coupe with stock suspension, and was wondering what tires sizes will fit and look decent. Thanks in advance for any input.

225/60/16 is stock size and looks pretty good.

235/60/16's are wider and look pretty good too.

just make sure you stick with the 60 sidewall because the wheelgap will look really funny otherwise.

255/45/16

Keeping the 60s with the wider tire will make the wheel gap smaller
The 60 is 60% of the Width
225/60/16 = 135 hight
235/60/16 = 141 <--- Taller
255/45/16 = 114.75
255/50/16 = 127.5
255/55/16 = 140.25 <--- Taller

Get the idea?

Discount Tire told me 255/45/16 was max on my 99 SE
Told me 255/45/17 was max on my Comp-G

So, I'm going out on a limb & saying 255's
