Hi guys, got a question. I got a 02 GT and have the stock Bullit wheels on them. I am looking into getting new tires for my car, perferably the Nitto NT 555's. My question is, what is the biggest size I can go on the rears. I wanted something meaty like P275/40 ZR17 but many people have said that you can't do that. It won't fit because the tire is bigger than the rim. What do you guys think? Can I put a bigger tire on the Bullit rims and be safe? I also was looking at putting P255/45 ZR17 on the front. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

I would say 255, or 265 seen them both and they look good... 275 Is to big i think for the stock rim.
