I have a set of 255/50/16 MT DR's that I use for my bird. Anyone think they will work on my G8 or clear the rear brakes?

They say that is what the Ausssies use, but with V6 brakes. I would attempt to bolt 1 on sinced you have them.

I figured it was going to come down to that but I was just trying to be lazy. The tires will have about .7 inches difference in diameter with the stockers. Wonder how the car will act.

Shorter correct? if anything a little taller then the 26.7 19s. Once you are tuned you can go through the traps in 3rd, but its close! If a 27.-27.2 would be right on the $$$
