Looking for new tires
I’m getting a set of 17x8 AR Torq Thrust II wheels. Suspension is all stock, and don’t want to modify anything or deal with rubbing. So I’m planning on going with 235/55R17.
Tire rack has 20 options in that size even after narrowing it down to ultra high performance.

Anyone running any of these tires that can offer some input?

I was thinking about 255/50R17, but have you seen the selection? Also, while you don’t have any issue, I saw a lot of talk on other threads about trimming the front fender. So I was looking for the safe/easy route.

The pictures of your car on another thread is what sold me on the 17” TT II wheels.

I also used hub centric rings as the TT II are lug centric.
