Cant make up my mind

So I'm in desprate need of rear setupfor the car. Did a nice run this weekend and I was all over the road my guy thought it was the road that was crappy.

I have the stock tires on the rear and have been looking at the Nitto x5 G2's. Thing si I really like the MKT street SS but don't want to put a 305 35r20 on the rear. If I did go that route I would do a drag pack on the rear with some 17s and 305 45r17. Price isn't the problem the problem is I don't want to break up the rim set. I looked at the MMR replicas but they only come in 20inch. If I could get those in a 17 I wouldn't have an issue but I can't so what to do.

Don't confuse the Nitto 555 G2 with the R2 (or RII, as the vendor spells it), the G2 is a mediocre passenger tire that will give you no traction when used in the rear. The 555RII will work well, however, as attested by several members here.

The Nitto G2's are wheelhop Willie's.
Worthless in the rear.
I just put 555RII
They hook decently and do well in the rain

Well bit the bullet on the rears and did opt for the 305 35r20's after talking to a few guys at the car shows this weekend about why they switched. Stuck with the facrtory size fronts and did do the G2 front R2 rear combo as you all talked about.
