I'm in the market for tires as well for my '03.
The local shop has BT-016's for $130 (rear) and BT-023's for $140 (rear)
They also have a sale on the Power 2CT's but the new road tires are nearly at MSRP (which I'm surprised anyone pays full retail on tires...it's always so stupid expensive)
Billy that is a good deal for sure...

yeah. it'll fit... it won't handle right.... the tire will deform on the rim.... but it'll fit.
u guys must get dif compounds or something, bridgies we get here seem to do nothing but slide lol, not that it isn't a bad thing at times lol. damn they are cheap too
Gen I rear wheel 17"x5.5" --> 180/55/17 tire
Gen II rear wheel 17"x6.0" -->> 190/50/17 tire
As Aaron said the 190 will fit on the 5.5" wheel, but the profile wont be right so why bother...
