I will be ordering the following wheels from Discount Tire Direct as soon as this question is answered:

Replica Wheel
VISION ZR1 104-7961S56
17X9.5 5-120.6HC 56S

.

I would like to know what tire size to order and have mounted up:

245/45-17

275/40-17

Car is a 1996 Base Model Camaro, V6 5 speed. I want it to look good and not rub. Just bolt em on and GO!

Please give me your opinion and then "why" you gave it

 

275/40-17 Definetly !!
it fits a 9.5 wide wheel perfectly...
if you go with the 245 it'll look like the tire is stretched onto the rim.

 

That is what I wanted to hear! THANK YOU!

 

Out of these two tires, which one would you go with?

id go with the visa. never heard of them before but they r z rated and have a better tread wear rating. so go with the visa brand.

 

best bang for the buck is
Kumho ECSTA Supra 712

Those Visas look like BFG Comp T/A ZRs.

 

First of all, get 275/40R17s all the way around because they are MEATY looking, and handle nicely.

Second, I've heard of Hankook, but not Visa. However, Visa has a Z speed rating, while the Hankooks have an H rating, good to only 130 MPH. While you won't be seeing that in a V6, a Z rated tire has a stiffer sidewall, which should give you better handling. Better treadwear rating as well.

If you care about the looks at all, I say the Hankooks treads look cooler than the Visas.

But I would buy the Visas.
