Default S6 tire question

Curious about which size tires are actually stock on this car before I go out and buy a new pair because I have my friends old BMW tires on it right now and wanted to get 225/50/16 for it because that's what I had on it before the BMW tires... So yeah, just wondering if anyone knew what size the stock tires are or the optimal size tires for a stock '95 s6

Stock size is 225/50/16. This yields a calculated diameter of 24.85" (=((225*0.5*2)/25.4)+16). In theory, 250/45/16 would give you the same diameter. Probably can't go wider than that.

thanks for the quick response. I had a feeling that was the right tire, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks again!

For future reference, the correct tire sizes for the 15, 16 and 17 inch option wheels should be inside the gas flap.
