also, I'm looking at 225/50/16s, I understand they fit fine. Anyone have any other experiences with that size?
I just got these tires. I am very impressed so far, especially for the price I paid.

I suggest you check the tirerack.com reviews for the RE730's. Let me warn you, most of the reviews claim the tires are extremely noisy as they wear (i cannot confirm or deny this, as my tires are 3 weeks old). So far however, they have been extremely quiet and performance is great. Do a search for RE730 in the tire forum and youll get plenty of results.

Here is a head start:

The 225/50/16 size should work fine, especially because you SHOULD have the revised inner fenders on the later model SVT's. (You can search this as well)

Good luck!
