Most people are recommending 245/45 -16 for the rears. There have been many, many discussions concerning this. Basically, the stock tires are about as wide as the 245/45s. Also, I live near the ocean and will happily supply you with all the kelp you need.

nope, the fronts should be 225/50's, which are the same size as the OEM 205/50's - the OEM S02's are wider than most because of how its designed.

Randy, the stock fronts are narrower than standard 205's.

215/50-16??? that's a weird size
That ends up a little on the small side on diameter, your ABS might freak.
