Your speedo is more than likely “off” anyways with the 4.10’s you have in it > 2. The 245 nitto has the SAME O/D as your factory 225’s do. Not even .1’’ off, which is ridiculous anyways. You’d NEVER see that, and even if you know its a tad smaller, who the fuck cares. I corrected the speedometer already. According to the calculator site I used the tire size is off a bit. I really dont want huge tires in the rear. Really Id like all 4 to be the same exact size but nobody makes 225/55/16 DR’s. Im not worried about rocks or anything and never said I was. ---

245/50R16’s Will be the same height as your 225/55R16 50 and 55 is the sidewall height expressed as a percentage of the sectional width. When you go up in width you must go down in aspect ratio… For ABS and to keep your speedometer accurate you should stay within 3%+/- original tire diameter > **[Tire Size Calculator - Tire and Wheel Plus Sizing](https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator)** > > 1010tires.com Tire Size calculator.

For what it’s worth, the actual diameter of a particular size tire will vary with manufacturer by a small amount. This is being wayyyyyy over thought. I don’t mean to be rude, but if .1" diameter (that’s .05" tire to fender…) will bother you, I suggest seeing a doctor for your OCD (if you don’t already, and I’m not joking.) ---

Did your car really come with 225s or did the owner before you downsize to maintain the green lining his pocket? I did a little research… 93 Cobra Mustang came with 245s so as long as your back spacing is right it should be no problem. Do It already! ---

I think johawk beat me to it, but holy shit Paul. Just cuz you run a 225/55 doesn’t mean that when you go to a 275 you run a 275/55. That’s nonsense. My stock tire size is a 225/55, I run 275/40’s all around and speedo is perfect. ---
