Yup, sure is and I greatly appreciate the advice as tires were never my thing. I've done some research bug geeze, it sure dose have conflicting information.
k, I ordered wheels. Wanted 17x8 on all 4 but they just sold the last set of 4. 30 days out min b4 more come in. That's not including shipping to me.
Ended up going staggered. 17x7 up front and 17x8 out back. Want the car to sit level. I dont want to squeeze a wide tire on a wheel it's not designed for. Also, 8" is the widest they offer in this 17" wheel.

So far I've been looking at 235/45/17 for the 7" wheels and 245/45/17 for the 8" wheel.
I've read 245 on both, I've read 255 on the 8" and 245 on the 7".
Prefer a tire size that has good options. I do like the nittos. G55 I believe.

Greatly appreciate the info. I've been researching so much on my build, my head is fogged out and full of axle, rear end, suspension, etc. Yes, I'm whining.
