Default Nitto DR + PowderCoating Wheels

I think I stumbled upon a pretty incredible deal. There was a guy on ebay who is in the miltary who just bought Foose Rims from Discount tire. He wanted his Wheels out of his garage ASAP and only did a 1 day auction. Any ways I got a set of the 04 17" rims with tires for $110. The tires need to be replaced so I was looking at getting a Set of Nitto DR. Will the 275 fit or do I need to go with the smaller? Also what color should I powdercoat the rims. I have two sets so I will get both done in two diffent colors. The first set is going to be a charcoal grey with a clear coat. The second I am not so sure. Either Black Glass or A chrome clear coat.

Recap; What size Nitto's and what second color for the powdercoating>?

Thanks

what color is your car?

I wouldn't go with chrome myself.


nitto 275's should fit fine, you could always roll your fenders to make sure
and you can go 255's in the front too

I run 275 nittos on the rear of mine. I had only a small rub line at the track but thats it. Honestly, if it were me, Id powder coat one set the color you like the best and keep some decent street tires on them, keep 2 other rims for the DR's at the track(you could powder coat these to match as well), and sell the other two. A lot of people are looking for 17 inch rims to mount DR's to, and since you'd be selling a pair, Im sure they would go quick. Unless you really like switching all 4 tires... Just an idea.

I have a quick silver, I am not sure I want to roll the fenders though.
