Thank you! I made a thread several weeks ago asking what profile would be needed to put 275's on stock Bullitts on these cars, everyone looked at me like I was 'tarded. I knew someone had to of done it, it's not a difficult concept.

What kind of tires are those? I figured out the size with a calculator, but couldn't find 275/50/17s that were Z rated.

I think it depends on the tires. I believe Nittos run narrow, so 275s may fit with no problems on our 17x8 rims. I know M&H drag radials 275/50/17 fit on the 17x8 rims.

They may fit on 8" rims, but it really depends on what the tire manufacturer recommends for that tire. You can chance it if you want but your insurance company will drop you like a hot potato of you have an accident resulting from improper safety equipment.

I talked to someone at M&H and he said that 275/50/17 will fit the 17x8 rims and the 325/45/17 will fit the 17x9 rims.
