Hello all, I was looking at buying 17” race stars w et streets. What tire size should I buy rear. I have 14 gt with track pack. I want a size that performs but also looks good when not dragging:)

Your choice of tire size is also going to depend on the width and offset of those wheels. MT's ET Street page isn't as helpful as most other tire sites, but these are tire industry guidelines (that tire mfrs generally abide with).

275/40-17 . . . 9" minimum, 9.5" measuring, 11" maximum
315/35-17 . . . 10.5" minimum, 11" measuring, 12.5" maximum
305/45-17 . . . 9.5" minimum, 11.5" maximum, measuring probably 10"

I'm afraid you're going to need somebody else's help with respect to lowering (and a significantly taller tire than stock). Sorry.

You might want to make that a separate post identifying tire size and amount lowered. Wheel offset, too.
