Default Wheels and tires

I'm looking to put on 10.5 and 9's by 17" on my 99. Any suggestions for the tires? Also, I have for sale PCW chrome wheels. 17" *7". The wheels haven't seen rain let alone snow. The tires have about 5/32 on them. The wheels are in excellent shape. I'm asking 400.00 for all. Anyone interested? Thanks in advance on any advice for the bigger tires.

i always recommend bfg kdw2s best tire i have ridden on. and they are GREAT in the rain, and fairly sticky.

i would put a drag radial on the back of those 10.5s tho. nittos are bad *** on the street and last a good 12k mileage wise.

if you do go with nitto's be aware that the nt555r's are underrated by about 20mm i wish i would have gotten 335's on my 10.5" rim. 315's look almost flush with the side of the rim. imo just my input.
