These numbers do not include the $2000-3000 custom wheels, or the $3000 hub conversion + $1000-2000 wheels I'd need to run them. 
615s: (Vulcan incl. shipping)
225/45/17 $480
235/40/17 $510
255/40/17 $560
Hoosiers: (Tire Rack incl. tax)
245/40/17 $1020
285/30/18 $1290 |
If you'd bought an '05 in the first place, you could be on 285/30R18 R compounds for ~$2100, or 275/35R18 RT-615s for under $2000... with forged wheels. Next year 18" tires will be cheaper because so many people are going to them.
18s are the new 17s.
Also, the hub conversion is well under $1000... plus there are a million off the shelf wheel sets in 18x8.5 or wider.
Bottom line Dean, your car will be beatable until you go to 18s. Same with all of us really.
