first off idk why you'd get rims there..best place for rims IMO is ebay, you'll pay $150 about for each rims where on ebay it'll be lik $100 for each one...or a set of 4 for $400 you'll save $200
17x9 up front with 250-255/45size tire
17x10.5 in back with a 305-315 size tire

and i wouldnt recommend nittos on a stock set up, start with sumitomo tires, they're a lil cheaper and still grip nicely, i have em and i love them.
you dont need a drag radial tire on a stock v6, its acctaully better to spin a lil bit off the start, a lil bit not alot
with DR it'll be damm hard to do that, ive heard modded GT's being able to launch at 4krpms with those nitto's and not spin.

basically its not needed sumi's will do fine

The 555's aren't DR they are just normal street performance tires. They stick very well and warm up quick. They will give you a little spin but they grip hard once they catch tfraction.

wider tires shouldnt slow you down they give you better traction

The 555's are the name of the nitto tires. The 17's shouldn't mess up performance much getting like 19's or 20's would but it would be litle to no change with the 17's
http://www.nittotire.com/dealers.asp
that is where you can find someone near you who sells the tires
