Yes, although a 225/255 will fit, I would recommend going a size up from that. On a 17x8 and 17x9 you should go with a 235/45 up front and a 265/40 in the rear.

ok, well I finally bought a set of tires, they were at a cheap price, so I cou;dn't pass them up, they are Maxxis, I've snever used them, look cool, here is a link to show wheta they look like. I ended up going with a 225/45/17 for the front and a 255/40/17 for the rear, probably should of went with a 235 in the front, but oh well, these will do for now, tell me what you think.

Cool, thanks Sawbladz, your car looks good, I'm hoping to order springs this week also.

Which springs do you plan to go with? I liked my H&R's but a few days ago I installed a set of HSD coilovers.
