All that large chart showed was that he should run 245/55/16 like I said in the first post

Yeah, my 18s have a 245/45/18 on them, and it's not the most comfortable ride. But it looks nice.

Yeah, like you discovered nobody makes that size. It was a size used for vettes in the 80s? Or maybe 70s? Can't remember now. The 245/50 16 is what came stock on camaros third gen. if I remember correctly. I personally want 18s or 20s or possibly 22s. Can't decide. I wouldn't run an odd number like 17 or 19 a friend of mine in the tire biz said odd number diameter tires are getting little harder to find and not as many options. Even 15s are getting increasingly difficult to come by because most cars today not all but most come with at least 16s on them. Only reason I know any of this craptastic knowledge is because I went through the same thing before a couple years ago and now again I'm doing the same research. Hope maybe a little of it helped you out. I'll try to get a pic but no promises I'm not getting in till later this evening.
