17" Tire Sizes
After putting my new 2.5" exhaust on this summer I realized that my 245/45/17 aren't big enough and don't give me as much ground clearence as my stock rims did. So what sizes are you running for 17" tires on the rear?

I use to run 255/50/17 Nitto NT450's, but I changed to 235/50/17's when I upgraded to Michelin Pilots. The 255's were 27" tall and the 235's are 26.5" tall. I know, that doesn't make exact since, but the Michelins are not exactly a 235/50 as they are rated (slightly oversized for some reason).
Nitto now makes a NT555 also in a 255, if you want a higher performance tire in a 255.
