Time for tires... suggestions please!

I am in desperate need of new tires... so I am thinking of going for 225x50x17 instead of the stock 215x50x17. I am assuming that 235x50x17 will look quite bubble-like on the
factory wheel?!?

I don't want to pay too much and am not looking for a drag-tire... how about Nitto's - they are like $100 each. Anything less than $150 / tire and significantly better?

Thanks!

I don't think they look bad....Plus you need all the grip you can get.

I paid 500 for the set shipped to my door. I have more pics if needed. Pretty good grip for the money.

They don't have 225x50x17... I suppose 225x45x17 isn't that different!
