17 inch tires are not that bad price wise,if ya wanna make yourself feel better price out 18s or 19s,the sumitomo htr or whatever there called are real cheap,not the best or greatest tire but its a tire,if your sticking with 17s i might look into the zr1 17x9,17x11 the bigger rear really looks great on this cars,and you can run a 315 tire out back
