    What other color would they look good in? And I think they would look better in white then the silver

    225/55/17 is the size you are looking for, that's what comes stock on 06 GP GT and is same circumference as your stock 225/60/16 so your speedo will read correctly.

    i think they look good in the silver. just clean them up on the right sized tire and drop your car like it's hot. because it will be.
