Alright, has anybody ever run a 275-40-17 tire on a 17 x 7.5" rim? It's pushing the limits for sure based on the 80% of the section width minus an inch (7.6" minimum recommended).
Keep in mind, this is going to be a drag radial used at the track. The selection is not very good in a 245 width tire for a 17" rim in the DR world. 245-45-17 Nitto 555R is the only option, and I've heard bad reviews about the Nittos from a launch traction perspective.
I'd like to run a Mickey Thompson ET Street DR, but my only option there would be the 275-40-17. Hence the inquiry. Anyone run something like this?
