Congrats on that mod list! 327 at the wheels? Thats amazing!
If ur wheels are 17x9's then 275 will fit perfect. If they are 17x8 then i dont know. Find out what size they are.

Put the Nito 555's on, heard alot of good things about them. My friend just got some about a month ago and thats what he recammends to everyone, he love's them. They hook pretty good! For a 8.5 rim, 275 will fit, but that would be the max, got a buddy who has a 00 stand and has been running 275's on his stock rims ever since he has had the car.

I got 2 Goodyear Eagles Used, but probably 65-75% tread life left 245/45 zr17 The stock tires from my 02 GT for sale. Will sell them to you for $100 plus shipping.

Email me if interested. I needed to replace the fronts, and wanted something with better wet traction so I replaced all 4 tires.
