haha i know lol. i cant go slicks untill i get another set of wheels to mount slicks on so i was planning on going with the nittos. whats the best size (tallest and widest) i can go without rubbing? car isnt lowered. i was thinking about spacing them out 1.5" to run wider tires but idk if i wanna trust spacers with this kind of hp..... my major problem is my wheels are only 17x7.5.....

I would just suggest getting another set of rims for track use, unless it won't be a track car. Let me ask my friend what he is running on his GP.

It's mainly going to be a street driven car, maybe 2-3 times at the track a year if that.

Alright then drag radials are the best bet I would say. The biggest you can fit on your rim without spacers, go with it.

Ok I asked my friend with a gp, he is running 26x10 slicks, and they rub under very sharp turning. It seems with the right offset though you can run up to a 9 inch wide one up front no issue.

I'm running 18x9 with this tire size all around, 255/45-18. I know for a fact that these will fit on an 04 as nemesis, formerly silver bullit had this exact tire rim combo on his 04. Obviously the height and rim size would be different due to 17's but you could go to 18's if you wanted also
