need pics of drag radials FAST!!!

[erichudgins]

hey guys i have to get new tires quick. im going to get DR's just wana see the nitto 275/40/17 on your cars or the MT's want a comparison to the stock bgf fronts please!!!!

[johnebgoode]

Are you more concerned with appearances or which one works better? Your comparing apples to oranges.

[MacDogg]

yeah, you cannot compare stock size front tires to 275/40's for the rear...

WTF?!?!?!

If using a stock 17x8 rim, it is not really a good idea. You are forcing the sidewalls in, and limiting the amount of tread contacing the ground during a launch and higher speeds. If you are going to get a 275-40-17 drag radial, get a set of 17x9's or 9.5's.

Just an FYI, I have an M-6 and used 245-45-17 Nittos with 20 psi and was able to get a best of a 1.77 60'. So a 275 isn't really needed to get some nice times.

ive done search after search and cannot find wat im looking for. i want a tire that performs well. but i am not cutting or grinding any part of my car to make something fit. i dont wnat to buy drag bags just yet if i can get the 275's(nitto) to work without rubbing. but if i gotta buy em either way then im gona get the MT's i just want the pics cuz i wana make sure my car isint going to look like a pulling truck. and im not putting $in wheels , its gotta better places to go.(cam)

I run 275/40/17 MT DR's on stock wheels and cut low 1.5xx consistently with a PB of 1.49 60'. I know the theory Black Devil has presented but it has not been a problem for me so far. I don't have pics of the MT's but here's a pic of mine with 275/35/18 BFG DR's. The car is sitting on a bit of a side hill so the clearances may look a little off.

They aren't bad but ET streets are worlds better.

The great thing though about Nittos is that you can run them as a daily driver tire. Rain, etc....not a problem.

Plus they run smaller than the BFG or ETs so you shouldn't run into rubbing issues with a good spring.

[YellowGTO04]

275/40/17 will fit on stock rims and will not rub without any mods to the body of my GTO?

[T-bones Goat]

They will fit on stock rims but you need drag bags at least.

[05gto6speed]

i think the 275 nittos fit stock and the 275 mt fit with drag bags

[SLO GTO]

275 nittos w/a little grind or roll on the lip and you're fine...some people don't even have to do that even
