No, if you run a 225s up front you're going to need a bigger swaybar or you'll be spinning like a top.

205/245 no bar
225/245 need bar

I'm having 225/50/16 F and 245/45/16 R installed this weekend. Saner bar on full stiff. I'll report back how it works, but I imagine it'll be a lot better than the -1/32" S02s I have on now

With the latter, could I run a 225/50/16 in front without an aftermarket bar and not screw up the dynamics? Under $400 a set for CB street tires...

(Who in So Cal shaves tires? My razor's pretty dull)
I agree with JP on sizing. Tire Rack can shave them for you if your order from them.

OK, so 205s in front, but then which 245 in the rear the 45 or the 50 series?

I have 225's in the front, 245's rear, and I'm not spinning like a top. Guess, I'm not pushing it enough. Does anyone know when the Saner bar will be available? or know another bar that is similar but less expensive than the Comptech?

45 series to keep the diameter the same...

I'm going to extract it from someone, somehow. Bring lots of tire irons to BW and we'll get to work!

Funny, I was just thinking about writing part 3 the other day I'll get on it soon.
