Tire size
What size tires will fit a 17x11 wheel and 17x9.5 wheel? I'm not looking for anything crazy just a nice all around tire. What size tires will fit on a stock 16" F body wheel, i plan on buying 2 DR for the stockers down the road.

I'm not good with tire sizes so bare with me. Will a 275/40/17 fit alright on a 17x9.5" wheel? I am going with Torque Thrust IIs. I was thinking about 17x11s in the rear but that might be a bit too much and I can't rotate tires and are $$. What is a good brand tire that is not too expensive but serves its purpose?

stock, don't go above 255 like sabre81 said
i would just do 245 instead of paying for an extra 10 cm

The best tires for the $$ that I have found (and consider that I have tested everything worthwile from Dunlop, Yokohama, Pirelli, Kumho, Nitto, BFG, Goodyear..)
I say the Yokohama AVS ES100's stand out as the value leader.
When $ is an issue these are your tires..
Simple psycho math here:
Buy cheaper tires + Get better traction = Harder driving
Harder Driving - Wear = Need for new tires sooner
Buy tires more often but spend less then you are running a newer tire more often.
You end up with a safer ride with killer performance.. I am at just under 15K miles on my AVS ES100s. You can tell the difference in how my driving has become more aggressive since I have feathered the front tires from pushing hard in turns. After a rotation its all good. I am very happy with these and will be getting them again.. Probably at about 20K mile mark.. My GSC's lasted 28K miles. I do run at the track but do not do burnouts. I do also push the car hard but never abuse it. Tires usually last me a decent amount of time.
For a high end tire, my Pirelli P Zero rock! I love those tires.
