if you get a nice set of wide wheels (like a 17x10.5 for the rear) you can run a 315/35/17

well i'll more harsh... if you choose nitto just save your coin and buy some futura or some other $50 each tire

mickeys are the best hands down

expect about a 1.7 60' on mickeys
1.8-1.9 on bfg and 2.0+ on nitto's

personally i have pulled 2.0's off on stock junk, so thats why i say don't bother

no need for anything wider than a 10 1/2" tire...thats a 255/50 for me and you want to be about 26" tall , don't give up any gear, you can use it all now
