Yes, as long as you get the 10.5" wide wheels.

[M-Ten]

yeah that's what i had in the link right?

Also I'm assuming i have the stock tires on my car right now.. my stock front tires will fit on the wheels in the link, right??

Good luck putting 16" tires on 17" wheels
Like LS1camino said you'll need some 275/40/17's

[M-Ten]

Oh the link was for 16" tires? i'm still learning about wheels/tires.. I've never messed with them before..

[M-Ten]

I thought where it says 315/35R-17 the "17" part was the size rim it goes on

[tpilews]

Unless your TA is a hawk it has 16" wheels. If you go to the tire manufacturer's website, they should have recommended wheel widths for any particular tire. Like the others said before, the 9" wide wheel will work with a 275mm wide tire. Your 315's for rear are recommended on a 10.5"-12" wide wheel.

Yes, 17 is the wheel size. 315 is your tire width, and 35 is your tire profile height.

[M-Ten]

OHH i see what they were saying... duh!

No I don't have a hawk, it's 16" .

[M-Ten]

Ok.. so I guess I'll need new front tires too.. would I want the nitto's on all four or just buy some cheap tires for the front?

I went with 16" in the front and 17" in the back with the 555Rs and my front tires are shit so yes you could run cheap tires on the front.....

[M-Ten]

Hmm, well I would rather haev 17's all around, so I would end up getting new tires anyway in the front I guess.. just wondering if I should get any old set of tires or get nittos on all 4 that way i can switch em out if i need to..

[badchvy]

be prepared to roll the fender, i have 17x11 and the nittos rub

[M-Ten]

what is rolling the fender?

[M-Ten]

alright.. so 17x10.5 in the rear and 17x9 in the front?

[ls1camino]

Ok...let me see if i get this right...

You want 17x9 wheels in the front and 17x10.5 wheels in the rear.

If you want to do these wheels you need 275/40/17 in the front and 315/35/17 in the rear.

I wouldn't get some expensive Nittos in the front, you really don't have to. Here are the tires I have:

Front:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...d=004764&ar=40

Rear:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...000&mk=PONTIAC

The are mounted on 17x9.5 and 17x11 Black ZR1s. They stick really nice in cornering and "mild" launching, they have a great treadwear factor too (420 in the front and 280 in the back), and of course they're rated for upwards of 160 (which I hit at least once a month ).

[M-Ten]

Oh wow those are some expensive tires!! Here was what I was looking at..

Front :

Rear:

[ls1camino]

Those aren't bad, but you gotta take into account the treadwear (how long they last). Also on the falken's read some of the reviews people have posted, I think you'll find that road noise will become unbearable if you try skimp on tires. Just my opinion...

Edit: I had Nittos on the car when I bought it and they were horrible in the rain, I would not suggest getting them if you plan on driving the car daily.

[M-Ten]

Oh really? Hmm, let me continue to look around a little bit then..
