How about the new 18 inch drag radials from M/T?
That is what is hard to get now

+1
So no, they won't fit on stock rims. I wouldn't say a 275 would be safe either.
What's the difference in price between the MT's and the Nitto Drag tires?

I have the MT 275/45 on my stock 17x8 wheels for the track, they fit and work just fine!

What's the widest drag radial that would fit on the stock 17x8 to be safe on the road? (Not just track)
For a DD.

+1...my rims are 9" wide and fit the 275's just fine...meaning a smaller width rim could fit 275's also

I've actually got 1 and I'll sell it for $299.00...LOL

That's rediculous that they're charging $100 over normal retail..
