What size tires to go with?


If I bought 16x8 1995 style Cobra replica wheels for my 1989 GT what size rubber should I go with? Also what brand tires to stay away from? Right now I'm running stock Ford 10 holes 225/60/15 (25.63")

i have 245/50 16 on all 4. fronts rub a little but not a problem. the big question is do you want a summer tire or an all season. that is an important decision to make. i'm switching to summer only tires, bfg's.
