BFG drag radial
Has any one been able to fit a 275/40/17 on a 17x8 inch rim?

unless you got them about two months ago you wont find them for an 17 inch rim. They no longer make them in that size. I went to buy some a while back and it was when they released their new catolog and they said they no longer made them. . You have to find a closer spec or go to the Nitto 555R's.

Most 275 street tires wont fit our 17x8 stock rims for our stangs, but I know Nitto's will for sure, they make their tires a tad small.

MD is right, nitto does make their tires a little skinnier than what they actually are.
