What bfg drags for firehawk rims What width are firehawk rims? is it 9 or 9.5? I forgot and am not in town.
I am thinking about bfg drag radials and they dont have the size tire i have now 275/40/17.
What size will fit my rims and work the best for all around driving?

The driveshaft damage actually happened after I broke my factory torque arm after powershifting 2nd gear. I was on 18" Michelin Pilot Sports at the time. Just goes to show how shitty the factory stamped steel parts are...

The BFG DRs will fit perfectly in the 275/40/17 size. Not sure what he is talking about by them not looking "meaty"....

why would the 285 be to big, my friends camaro on the stock rims was running the 285 at all corners , my camaro & firehawk as well as a friends firehawk where running 315s on the back only

315s need an 11" wheel, no questions about it. It's physically possible to mount them up... But that doesn't mean it's right. Tire failure can occur, and then you're going to be sorry.
The manufacture recommends a minimum width for all their tires. Don't be retarded...

do you know how hard you would have to push those tires for them to fail, one, I worked for goodyear so i know all about what tire companies recommend and should be done, also the firehawk is running a 743rwhp car and sees lots of hard driviing time with no failure

I not trying to say you wrong, just wondering , how many people do you know that have run into this problem, I would agree that its better to run the suggested tire to rim preference
