Ponys on my car? And how wide of a tire?

My finally have a set of pony wheels coming my way. My car used to have some on it before I bought it, but when I bought it it had weld draglites on it... I'd like to get some other wheels on it for the street and save the draglites for the track, but want to know what the widest tire you've all seen fit on a stock pony wheel is?

My car before I bought it with pony's. What do you all think?

Pony wheels are classic on a Fox. Definitely can't go wrong there if you're not in the market for dropping 2-3k on custom wheels

the biggest tire for 16" rims thatll fit a fox without mods is a 255. up fromt id use a 245 or keep it even and use 255 up front too.

I have seen people go with 245/50/16s on ponies in the rear and stick to the stock 225/55/16 on the front...Even with 245s on the rear they are going to bulge a bit on a stock sized pony wheel...
