Default Looking for best tire for stock WS6 wheel

I'm sure this has been askes before but I can't find anything anywhere so.. looking for the best warm weather/summer tires for a ~400whp car using stock WS6 wheels. Best reccomendations? Is a 305 width a possibility on these wheels? Any help would be appriciated.

stick with the 275's they have much better selection, what kind of driving are we talking about? racing or handling?

275's look weak , 315/35/17 many choices availible , I rode in a goodyear dr equipped z28 with 4.11's. it dead hooked on the street . its recommended to have 11'' inch wheels . Their is no 17x11 ws6 wheels avalible, weld craft can widen your stock rear rims .

don't put anything higher than a 285 on your 9 inch factory wheels...295s are too big.

i work for a tire company and it'd just sag and look horrible to put on 315s plus they don't fit.

i got eagle F1's 275 40 r17 and they hook great and the tread pattern looks good to. I recommend them to anybody running this size.
