    You wouldn't want 17s anyway, it's harder to get right size tires for them. Those do look good, though. Are they a new AR model?
    I may own a GTO now, but I'm still a 60V6er at heart.

      I think they are ICW wheels. I got them from a local tire store for a really good deal.

          It's a little harder to get a size match match for a 225/60 16 on a 17 inch rim, you're usually a tad under or over.

            exactly,

            stock

            225/60 16>135 profile plus 16 inches (406.5mm) for a total of 541.4.

            aftermarket

            225/50 17>112.5 profile plus 17 inches (431.8mm) for a total of 544.3

            Not much, but tire manufactures use different tread depths and usually this is not added to profile, the profile is the sidewall up 3/32 remaining most times. Adds up to about 1/8th of an inch up to 1/2 per manufacture spec.

            The most I have seen without modifications is 560mm with + offset.

                225/40/18 is NOT the right tire for a 225/60/16

                Closest you can get is 245/40/18. Go look up the prices of them and then think real hard if you really want them.

                  If you're gonna say someone is wrong, MAKE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
                  225/60/16 is 26.7" dia. 245/40/18 is 25.7' dia.
                  That will throw off your speedo 5 mph. (5 mph. for every inch.)
                  245/45/18 is 26.7" dia. And if you're a mexican 275/40/18 is also 26.7" dia. but 11" sidewall to sidewall.
                  Sorry about the wrong size before. It would throw your speedo off 7 to 8 mph.
