I have some 17's im wanting to put on my trep, what size of tire should i replace the stock 225/60R16s with?

....What about if i wanted to go to low profile?

Thanks in advance.

225/55/17 sounds like the best choice.. I've seen 17" rims with lowpros on Intrepids and in my opinion they just don't look right. Mainly because there's still a lot of space between the wheel well. 18"s with lowpros look a lot better but again that's MY opinion. To each his own, right?

Do they affect mileage? I've done research online and I've read that they negatively affect MPG and that it's recommended to "re-gear" the tranny, not sure what that means or how to do it.. Mind you, yes, they look good but it's like you're sacrificing drivetrain for looks.

The ratio stated on the only Prowler Pro stuff I could easily find said something like 2.94 - but I think that yes, 4.10 is correct for the same comparison point. The only cost I could find was a "summer special" of like 1500 bucks, but includes a speed converter box.
