Default what size of drag radial to get?

Ok I picked up 2 front rims from a 97 vette. I plan on buying a pair of dr's for them. Whats the best size of tire to fit these rims? They are 17x8.5

255, 265, 275 is what I would choose. Are you putting DR's in the front? B/c that's pointless.

No, they will be going in the rear.. My stock 16" will be in the front, and the 17" vette rims with dr's out back.

although I wouldnt have chosen the 8.5" width...you prolly got a good deal. Youll still be ok on a 275-40-17
