Alright i'm getting mixed opinions and I need facts and some real experiences from some of you guys. I know you can put a 275/40/17 Drag radial on our stock rims and be fine. But can you take a 275/40/17 STREET tire on the stock rims for the rear? I have heard the cons of doing this but have never heard anyone having a problem with it.

 

Yes, you can put 275's on the stock tires.

 

So no problem if I take a Sumitomo HTRZ II 275/40/17 on my rears.....i'm trusting you..lol

 

They are 17x9 ...i'm gonna do it anyways I already bought the tires....lol

 

teal beast has 275 hankooks on his 17x8's for one example.

 

TEAL!!!!! Gimme some pics...not that it matters I already bought 245/45/17 and the rear 275/40/17

 

I know you can. I have a feeling you might need to be more cautious on tire pressure throughout the miles of the tires. With that much buldging I'm sure you're much more suceptable to completely losing the tire off the rim.

 

if you run a 275/40/17 on a 17x8 stock wheel, use 22-25psi and they will wear pretty evenly. Trust me i know

And i bought another set of nitto drags esien, i said **** it i love my nittos. Even though i dont race as much anymore.

 

Yeah well I just bought a set of tires for under $300 so now I have 4 tires to roast

 

I had 275/40/17 on my actory Bullitt wheels. Now I have 18 X 9 in front and 18 X 10 Saleen replicas. The tires are 265/35 in the front and 295/35 in the rear. Here's a pic of my older setup with the 275s.
