Concerned about traction with 275 v 315 I am def getting new rims soon. I want 17 x 9.5 all the way around or with 17 x 11 in the rear. Choices are all black c5 z06 17x9.5 rims for $395, silver zr1 with 17x11 rear for $429, argent c5 z06 17x9.5 for $465. I am concerned that if I get the 17x9.5 rims and put 275 tires (Eagle F1 GS-D3) I will not have enough traction. I plan on a nice stall and about 410 to the wheels. Price dif. b/t 275 tires v 315's are $86 each. Will I have enough traction with 275's?

at that hp without a DR I doubt you'll get geat traction from either. on my car- going from a 275 nitto- to a 315 nitto netted me ~.2 on my 60 ft times. I would expect the kind of result for any tire. You have the benifit of an automatic...but I am sure with the drop of the hammy- you'll light either size up easily.
