Tire thoughts

[Origommi]

I have a 96 GT and need new tires. Any thoughts on best size to fill all the gaps. I have 245/45/17s on now.

I would do 245/45-17 bfg kdw-2's.

if you have 8" rims that is. that why you speedo stays correct. stock tire diameter is 25.7

you could consider running a 255 tire if you want wider but 255/45 will be a tad taller (26.1).

How about a 255/55/17?

That wont fit and will cause clearance issues.

Lower the car.

I'm getting 255/45 for my 97 GT, but its also dropped. The only way to decrease wheel gap without lowering the car is to get 18" wheels, and even then the car doesnt look right
