    I need to replace the tires on my 2005 Grand Prix GTP. Stock tire size is 225/55-17. I found some 225/50-17's and would like to know if they would fit...

    They will fit, but it might look a tad goofy with smaller tires on there. The speedo will also be slightly off.

    Gas mileage will also drop a tiny bit. Although if you calculate it based off the miles the car thinks it's gone it will be the same or higher.

    Stock is 225/55/17, not 255/55.

    225/55/17 are 26.74" in diameter

    255/50/17's are 27.04" in diameter. They are also 1.18" wider.

    225/50/17 is going to be almost an inch shorter that stock.
