Quick Question

I have some 17x7 wheels with nitto555 on them that are brand new.
I also have a set of 16x7 with BFG G-Sport on them.
OR
Put the stock wheels back on and get some new tires for them.

Which way would you go an why?
Also which tires would you get for the stock wheels if you stuck with them?

I also have a set of 18x7 wheels with continental conti sport extreme tires but i think 18's may be a bit much...

Looking for feedback to help me decide.

depends on which wheels the 16's or 17's are. wheel weigh seems to affect the fit's handling since the car is so light. i would go with the 16's if they are lighter than the oem.

Looking for feedback on tire size and which tires...not so much the size/weight of the wheel...this is my daily driver...

guess i should ask more along the lines of
I have 205-40-17 nitto 555's
205-50-16 BFG G Sports
or i can buy a new set of tires for the stock wheels 195-55-15
also have a set of 205-30-18 conti sport extremes

buy new set or run a set of what i got?
