Default Need new tires

I have a 2011 GT and my tires need to be replaced and I was looking on replacing them with some Nitto NT555's I have 19X9 wheels and was wondering if i would be able to fit 275's on them or if that's too wide for my wheels?

Also, I am welcome to suggestions on other tires you all think are a good idea. It doesn't rain here too much so I am more interested in dry grip, but don't want to forfeit wet grip altogether.

Yes, 275 width will fit a 9" rim.

The Nittos 555 are a great tire. I would recommend the NITTO brand and that specific tire as I have 555's up front. And ONLY run Nitto tires just because they have treated me well traction/performance wise..

I was originally wanting to stagger them with original 255's up front and the 275's in the rear, sadly, they don't offer 255's for 19" wheels. So will 275's up front rub, or do you think I should go with 245's

Thanks for your replies.
