Wheel/Tire upgrade worth it?
Just looking for experienced opinions...
Currently running on my 67 Camaro, 17x8 wheels with 255-50 and 245-45 Nitto NT555-G2 tires. Curious about running stickier rubber but options are limited in 17 inch.
Toying with the idea of selling my setup and getting 18s with 275/245 in something like a Nitto NT01, or similar...?
How much extra grip am I going to see, and would it worth the expense? Buddy of mine has a new Mustang GT and I want to have every edge I can get a track day67' Camaro- 385 SBC/Autogear M22/Wilwood
