245/60R 14 - back
225/60R 14 - front

I have the 2 225/60R 14's that are in good shape, and need 2 new rears... wanted to know if those 245's will fit?

Ptype, yes they will. (with factory p type rims). Ltype, I'm not sure.

Yes... it is a P-type with the sport rims... sorry forgot to mention. I have always liked the look of older Camaro's etc... with the 60-rear/50-front type look. Was wondering if the 2-piece driveshaft may pose a problem if you get the geometry too far from even on the tires... I wanna invest in a 1-piece shaft sometime in the future.

Thanks for the quick reply... I will get the dealer to order the 245's for the rear.

Driveshaft has nothing to do with the tires unless you install 2 different sizes on the rear.

245's will be fine.

Your right on the driveshaft. The diff is attached to the frame, the problem is with the sideshafts. I haven't ever heard of a problem with taller/wider tires ever though.
The reason you don't wanna have 2 different sizes on the rears is that the LSD will get burnt out. This is one reason why the car came with a full size spare.

The size will work but I have had a couple sets of DunHops in the past and they haven't been the roundest tire out there. I would suggest considering BFG's. I know that they are a bit more money but I think that you would be happier.
