yes, but your gearing a speedo will goto hell, and your back end will sit signifigantly higher than your front.-chet

hes right

go to tire rack and click on the specs for different tires to see what the diameter is. dont stray from the factory diameter by more than like one or two tenths of an inch

a higher width needs a lower aspect ratio..like maybe a 45 instead of the 55 for the wide rear.

Also wide rear tire won't make you handle better unless you are having trouble getting all your 400 hp to the ground.

I would just put 225/45/17s

or 225/50/15s or some such all the way around
