I'm running 17 inch Shelby endorsed American Racing Vintage 427 wheels with Nitto 555 Extreme rubber on my car and it is a great setup. The sizes are 8 inch wide wheel with 245/45/17 up front and 11 inch wide wheel with 315/35/17 rubber in the rear. One really critical part of ordering new wheels and tires for your car is making sure that you have the correct measurements for your wheel back spacing. If you need any help in this area or have any questions about wheel fitment and your tire options I would highly recommend contacting Bob Lacey at Vintage Wheel in San Diego. Bob really know his stuff and can help you with the entire process so that get the optimum setup for your car. I have also run Michelin Pilot Sports with good results. However, they are more expensive than the Nitto Extremes and I really didn't see any performance advantage
