I know this probably been answered in various fashions in the past but I need specific assistance on tire selection
The 2005 GTO has the 245 40zr17 stock wheels.
Big Mike mentioned that I could upgrade to a 275 40 17 and that would work fine. Is that regardless of the manufacturer or does it vary?
I have a guy who found me a couple BFG 275 40 17 but they were not sure if they would fit. Thats my first question.
second - I will be having the procharger installed within the next two weeks. With the extra HP I need wider tires with more traction to take advantage of the power (obviously). What do you guys recommend for mainly street driving (some street dragging) and a little track work? I can keep my originals for winter. I've heard Nitto's are very good (not sure if they make 275 40 17 - didn't look like it) or the BFG drag radials.
So I need to know what will realistically fit and what tire would be optimal. Please be as specific as possible
Thanks
