the v6 wheel is a 16x8 so i think you could do 255 on that

I would go 255 on a salad shooter or something because it will give you more sidewall and a wider contact patch.

Get ET streets. I have Nitto 555r Extreem Drags, and they suck. I cut the same 60' with my shitty Yokohamma street tires.

I have had great luck with Nittos on the street, if you drive it mostly on the street I would 100% reccomend them.

ya it all depends on what you want out of the tire... get nitto dr's if it's mostly street driven. you will get the most out of them compared to any other drag radial

Yeah me too, but that's because my clutch is slipping

. I love my nitto 555Rs. Then again, I'm stock gear/clutch/power.

The smaller rim has a larger sidewall so it hooks better. The 17 " looks
better so it depends if you want go or show.

I like my new 275 555R's so far. Noticeably more grip than the 285 GSD3's in 1st and 2nd gear romps. Have not track tested them yet.
