Will be buying some Nitto 555 D/R soon.
I have the stock 17in rims...
I plan on getting the 245/45/17s (stock size) but I hear that the 275/40/17s will fit safely. Is this true? My Goodyear guy didn't recommend the larger size on the stock rims.
(I've worked with him for a long time..)

I also plan on getting a set of four, since I don't have the cash for extra "drag" rims right now. So would it be better to go with the stock 245/45/17s so I can rotate them?

Thanks...

If all you can see out of the window is ground that's going round and round and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger compartment, things are not at all as they should be.
