Message I went with 245-45-16s all around. I just put them on last week and only have about 100 miles on them. Tire Rack had good reviews for them.

I found the traction hook-up in the rear was a huge improvement but there is a disclaimer. The car came with really marginal tires when I bought it (cheap no name brand) and they were 225s on all four corners with original staggered wheels.

The car has been running very strong. I was running nothing but 100 octane and knew the boost (jets) was high as the rear would loose traction easily in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The car started to have "issues" and wasn't running quite right just as I put the new wheels and Fuzions on.

I took it to Seb at Specialty Z and he worked his magic and got it running right again. It turned out I was hitting about 17 pounds of boost on stock turbos due to the jets I had. I had Seb turn the boost down, adjusting jets, to manage 91 pump gas so he went to 12.5 pounds of boost.

The Fuzions handle this with no issues. I don't have any traction issues in 2nd or 3rd now but the car is a different animal with this much boost loss.
