Need help choosing a tire, please.

I just bought a BF Goodrich g-force Sport Comp-2 in 245/50/16 (this is .79" wider than the 225/55/16)
Haven't maounted it yet. Do you think I'm going to have problems with it rubbing?

Returned the 245 for a 225: Didn't want to risk the rub

Do you have your license plate mounted on the bottom hole set in order to better hide the new car tire?
Just kidding . . .

The tire makes the Rocket look even more massive. Let me know how it handles. I switched to a 215/60. Don't know when it will get installed. You were right, I think narrower will suit me better. When the state gov did away with the inspection plate, I moved my lic. Plate all the way up. Discovered a red reflector back there. I think you should move it up, show off the big tire

Ha, you know I didn't even realize I could move it (License plate) up. First thing when I get home tonight it's going up. I want to show off the massive tire. Only real difference I've noticed while riding is I lean my body just a little more at slow speed turning, next I\ll have to shoot up the local Ogden canyon and see how it floats.

It may rub, i have the 225/55/16, Gforce and i have about 1/4 inch of clearance fron the driveshaft, hope it works for you

Sure you can

PS
Do some burn outs on dirt and make sure to get the edge of the tire good and clean to remove all the mold release that is on all new tires.....M/C and Car tires
