When the mags tested these, the stock 17s did much better but it wouldn't be the rim diameter. It's more a function of the tire types and size with their respective wheel widths. Stickier and wider is what gets it done. A 225/50/16 should do as well or better than a 215/50/17 of the same type if both are on 7" wide rims. The base and GT should be similar in skid pad #s with the same tire but the GT will slolam better with its firmer shocks. No hard #s here but I hope it helps.
