I bought a pair of 17 x 9 WS6 rims in the same style and ran them with a drag radial on the back. Was a good setup to get a wider tire out back.
Which style of rim do you have?

Question probably will be moved to the correct area but in the meantime you can check tirerack.com for appropriate sizes if you do not want to remain stock. With tires you truly get what you pay for. Goodyear GS-D3's are incredible but cost $$$. If you want to get a cheap tire expect it to be decent at first but then you will start hearing the road noise and there may be tramlining issues about halfway through the tread. Also issues in the wet as the tread diminishes. Your choice. In my 13 years of Formula and Trans Am ownership I have been very happy with the Potenzas as well as my current Goodyear GS-D3's (perhaps the best set of tires I have ever owned, and I have a real nice set of Michelins on another car I have, so that is saying a lot!). Sometimes you think you are doing real well saving $200-$300 on a set of tires but in the long run it is not worth it. The only exception I could think of would be if you are constantly WOT burning up tires every 6,000 - 8,000 miles.
