Possibly, but no guarantee. A 50 series tire would be almost an inch bigger in diameter. This "might" play havoc with the ABS and will put your speedo/odo out by about 4%.

your speedo will be accurate with a 245/45/16 in the rear.

The only problem is that the 245/45/16 size is not available in all makes and models.
