M/T's

[JVENOM]

would the M/T DR's fit on my 17 inch wheels?

What width are your 17" wheels?

The 275's should fit with minimal issues on a 9" wheel. Would go with 255's on anything under that.

stock rims.....

stock rims.....

so.... 17/8?

255's for you....

i have 275/40/17's on my stock mach wheels for the track, hook like stink epper:

 

[JVENOM]

why 255's?...I have 275's up front. If anything i should put 275's on the rear....or it would it scrap?

i wouldnt put anything bigger than a 255 on your stock wheels. since your gonna buy m/t's for the rear just buy two more tires for the front...both front and rear being 255's. and no the 275's will not "scrap" i dont think.

the m/t's are great tires btw. they are awesome once they get warm....they hook like none other.

If you put on a tire thats too big for the wheel then you wont get a maximum contact patch. See what size wheel they recommend for a 275 MT DR.

Not to mention you burn the middle out way faster then the sides
Learned that the hard way...

run the 275 and run them at 18-20psi for daily driving and 16-17psi at the track. they will wear pretty damn even.

 

[JVENOM]

so basically they ain't no reason to drive 275's on a GT? from what you telling me. more tread on the street the better the traction?*

I have the 275's on a 17/8, it bulges a little... but i like the look and i found them to hook pretty well.
