Quick Tire question
I have an 00 Gt with stock 17x8 5 spoke wheels. I'm about to get 17x9 Bullit wheels. I already have a new set of 4 michelin pilot sports in P245/45R17. I was wondering how the car would look with this new wheel size and tires.
Do you think it's better I sell the michelins and get a larger size tire?
Thanks

45 is the aspect ratio. It's a relative measurement compared to the width of the tire. a 275/40/17 is the same height as a 245/45/17 but a 275/45/17 is a bit taller. Go to tirerack and look at revs per mile. Stock we're looking for 810-813. Much above or below that will change speedo readings enough to matter in the more vigilant speed trap areas.
