What profile did you use? The only tire I got on Tirerack was >> Kumho ECSTA V710 , but its a competition tire. I also checked Discounttire and didn't get any results at all from them. I searched these tires 295/40/17 and 295/35/17, no luck. I think the largest safely on a 17 inch stocker and 285! Good luck in your hunt.

Ebay yeilded no results as well!

that's too wide of a tire for a 9" wide rim...lol
hell, I am running a 295 tire on a 10.5" wide rim

even if you could get one, you would have a lot of sidewall flex and your rear end would feel like it was on marshmellows. No biggie if you are a drag racer, but for us corner carvers it's a big deal.
