BTW I will be buying the tires from a tire retailer, not eBay. Opinions/suggestions welcome. Thanks guys

Looks ok but with thoes rims you are going up an inch in size, so you would want 215/45/17 to keep the spedo correct

Ahh, the good ol' +1 conversion. you go up an inch, you lose 10 on the side wall and gain 10 on the width. But height is what your really looking at.

I like the rims, not too crazy. Maybe it's just me, but i think they look very similar to the stock GST rims.

For tires, I just researched and am deciding between the Kumho Ecsta MX, Hankook Ventus, or Azenis ST-115.

Yeah right now I dont have that much to spend on tries so I was mainly looking for a nice cheap tire that still performs well. Any other suggestions?

225/45/17 is the exact match for OEM 205/55/16... the old -10 +10 doesn't work with low profile tires.
