RE: STOCK PIRELLI TIRES WITH 17X9 WHEELS
Get new tires!I don't think the pirellis are worth swapping to a new rim and they are going to be stretched over a 17x9 rim which just looks stupid IMHO. Move up to a 255/50/17, lots of options in that size available.

The stock 17's are 17x8, the stock 18's are 18x8.5

no there 17 by 8.5 and i was told that they would look fine, but you should probably save up to get 18's or bigger

How do they suck horribly?
Mine ride great, good wear, good wet/dry traction...

Tires that wear good do not have good tractions. The pirellis do wear good so their traction is just ok for me.

RE: STOCK PIRELLI TIRES WITH 17X9 WHEELS
It works, I would prefer a wider tire, but I drive so many highway miles I might as well get some use out of the stock ones.
