Yes, I'm also looking for opinions on what i should get for my new rear rubbers.

I had Pirelli P7000's on all four corner's and strangely enough, I only seem to need to replace the rear ones

i still have 225/40/16 on the front I was thinking 245/40 for the rear. Should I stay with the same aspect ratio? Would 225/50 be okay?
Anyone have any other favorite tires to recommend?

Thanks,
Todd

I always check out www.tires.com and I really like the look of the 245 width on the rear I would go with that.

245 should fit..but yipes thats really pushing what a 7.5" rim can handle i wouldnt really wanna stuff more then a 235 on a 7.5" rim.... but ive seen it done.... you get to wide of a tire you can get tire bulge, wider tire but less on the pavement

If you find my signature offensive, simply dont look at it or call 1-800-WAA-AAAH.

I actually have 245/45/17 on my 7" rims on the back and they are borderline, i.e. they don't look messed up but I wish I had gone with 225 or 235 for better handling. They definitely look meaty and aggressive.

245's look more wild and will fit no problem on 7.5's.

Do you have pics of that setup? I would like to see it. Thanks.
