My tires will be dead before the end of the year, so new wheels/tires combo.

And move, get a new job, buy a house. That'd be excellent, thank you!

My friend with a ~400hp GT swears by the Nitto 555s, for what it's worth

As much as I'd love to, I think 255 is the widest I can fit on my current wheels

For a street tire the Nitto 555s aren't bad, i'm currently running 285's in the rear with my current set up and can spin them on request. Horsepower is around 475 at the wheels (havent had time to get to dyno)

It'd be cool to have 475hp!!!!! ... IF I didn't have to pay for it.

But, for the record, I have 285s on the back too and can spin them on request with my stock 310ish...

That said, 285s look great on these cars!!!
