I have the stock 17' Bullit wheels with 235/55-17 and I was going to buy 2 more to put drag radials....what size radials do I buy? where do I buy these?


Thanks !

Well I was going to recommend brenspeed, but I just read that they don't ship the tires and rims mounted. For $599 I was expecting it mounted and balance. I bought M&H 275/50/17's and i'm trying to buy some 17x9 bullits for them, but everyone's out of stock right now. They told me I could mount these on a 17x8, but I don't want to take any chances.

I got the tires shipped for $380 total I think. You can get a discount if you're a member of
m o d u l a r f o r d s .com, just pm M&H, they are a member there and they'll tell you how to get the discount.

Our cars come stock with 17x8' ? I guess I need to look for a 9 inch wheel. Thanks for the reply moose

I put 275/40/17 Goodyear dragradials on my 17x8's and was just fine.

275 on 8inch? thats nuts...i wouldnt even do that on a 8.5

Works just fine. Im not the 1st, and wont be the last to run that. I dont drive to the strip in them, I install there.
Really isnt all that much bulge over the rim. I was expecting more.
Dont have any good pics of them installed, but heres next best thing.

Your going to have to take me for a ride in that car pretty soon man, i'd like to see what kind of a difference there is between our cars.

Probably not much difference

Before you buy, check the tire manufacturer's recommended minimim rim width. Don't go below it. They set the minimum size for a reason. Don't try to "get away" with using an 8" wheel if the tire company says that 9" is the minimum. I've got 275/50-17 M&H Racemaster DR's on 17x9" replica Bullitts, and they look awesome!
