If you have factory 17s (17x8) then that is the widest you can go for tires. Brand new they are $143 each shipped. If you have wider wheels like 17x10...then i'd do 305s. They'll look real nice on there too.

No. Anything over 45s look like truck tires on the car in my opinion. It'll also throw your speedo off.

The most common tire size combos are:

245/45
255/45
265/40
275/40
285/40

Only Nittos I'd buy would be the 555Rs, the regular 555s aren't worth it imo.
