17 x 11 ZR-1 replica question? I am looking at a pair of 17 X 11 ZR-1 Replica wheels 50mm ofset. Also have a friend with some Nitto 275 40 17's will they fit on the 11" rims. from the stickey above it looks like only 315's will fit on these rims.

Well you probably wouldn't want to put 275s on an 11" rim, that will not look right and will be a beotch to get on...although they were designed for that.
On the other hand Nittos are narrower than BFGs so you would be fine, though with an 11" rim a 315 is a better bet in the long run if you race...

Hi Folks
I have 17X11 Replica rims that will have 315/35-17 BFG Drag Radial. I now have 17X9.5 with 275/40-17 Goodyear. I am would check with the tire MFG - I am not sure about 17X11 with smaller tires.

Not doing it after checking into it. I had a chance to get some 275 nito's cheap and some 17x11's also. Wanted to see if the combo would work. I really want to find a pair of Chrome ZR-1's to match my other rims, when I swap off street tires for DR's.

I'm just looking for opinions if no "emperical datafied" answers are available.
