I run the 275/50 17's without any issues.

I remember your GTO had the wheel well lips ground off so clearance shouldnt be a problem.

The 16s should have more bite if they'll clear the fenders & brakes.

I know 16" rims won't work in the front, but I'm not sure about the back. You would need to test fit a set with your desired offset and let us know.

Some people have gotten 305/35/17 to work with a custom offset rear wheel and slight modification to the fender or the suspension arm.
