    Hey I found some eagle 077s with tires for a good price and I may just jump on them but the tires are 225/45/17. Would those be too small for a gp? I know nothing about tires

    Nope...factory tire is 225/60/16. That just seems kinda skinny for a 17" wheel to me, that's all. For tires it goes like this...tire width/sidewall height/rim size. Try using this...you want to stay within +/-3% of the factory tire size...
