Default Anyone using 275-40-17 MT ET Street Radials on 17X11 wheel?

I know they fit on 9 inch and website says +/- 1 inch (8-10 in. wide rims best fit). Has anyone actually run their 11 in. rims with these specific tires, especially at higih speed???

thanks

SDB

another problem is going to be spinning tire on rim with these MT ET Street Radials...I spun my wheel in the 315 BFG drag radials about 3 inches...

ANyone use this combo yet/??/ I have read about one instance of a problem with the ET street in 17 in. with a 26X11.5X17 on a 11 in rim, but have not heard anything about the new ET Street Radials...

I hate to order more rims, but also have to put rim screws in my Boyds...

Thanks

no manufacturer spec given on website, FINALLY got a hold of someone at MT...they said the new ET Street Radial in 275-40-17 will fit fine on a 17X11 rim, the tire is a little wider than the older MT ET Street in 17".

I would also like to try these rims and am wondering if they will fit on my 9.5 17 inch rim? If so what are the prices for these tires?

tey will fit perfect on a 8-10 rim and acceptably on a 11 rim......I just got mine ordered from a sponsor here APE who is running a GP in the for sale forum....They are $344 shipped for the pair for these size...which is about $50 cheaper than anywhere els I have seen for delivered price for a pair of these!

I emailed MT last week on this same subject. Here's the reply:
"We don't recommend it we recommend 8-10. The foot print won't be right and you won't get a good wear. It also could be hard to mount that on the rim.

Thanks,
