Best size tire- 17 inch rims
What size tires do you guys think look the best on a Trans Am with 17 inch rims? What is the lowest profile you would go and what is the thickest? Right now I have 275/40s on them but looking for more options

Depends on the width of your rim? Tire sizes coincide with the width and height of a rim.
For example on a 275/40/17 tire=
275mm wide, with a side wall that is 40% the height of the width of the tire (so 40% of 275=your sidewall height), for a 17 inch rim.
Various widths will best suite a certain width of rim. With a smaller rim, you can get away with more sidewall and still achieve near-factory entire wheel height.
