Um, one fits a 16" rim and one fits a 17" rim?

If you are wondering which hooks better I'd guess the 16" because of the taller sidewall.

A definite performance improvement in R/T's & very consistent ET's.. is what I just had after trying these at the track.

Only 14 runs, but I LIKE the way these feel compared to the 275's..
