My old 245/45-16 R6's just touched the bottom of the struts (using 1/4" offset) when we put them on the rear, so we're going with 225/50-16 A6's in back and 245/45 A6's up front. I actually drove them around the block too just to be sure they wouldn't work, and the strut took nearly a 1 inch swath off of the inside edge of the tire, leaving rubber shavings up under the strut for me to pick off afterwards.
Are you registered for the Hoosier contingency program Ken? And what do you think about DS, lots of familiar faces huh...
Final Entry List
By the way, my 245/45-16 street tires - Hankook rs2's - DO fit on the rear with a 1/4" of offset, but the Hoosiers in that size are just too wide for the rear....
Specs for both 245/45-16's
Tire -------- Diameter - Section Width - Tread Width
Hoosier R6/A6 - 24.7 ----- 10.1 -------- 9.2
Hankook RS2's - 24.6 ------ 9.6 -------- 8.7

I'm surprised your 245/45-16 Hoosiers fit on the rear Ken, what do u have for camber in the rears? If it's 0, then I could see how. I'm pretty sure I've got around -1.0 degrees.
And does anyone know when online registration closes for the Milwaukee National Tour?
