you need a 15" rim first. Then either go with a 275/60 or a 325/50

I've got the M&Hs. Very happy with them. What's your expected trap speed? Use a tire/gear/rpm calculator and work backwards from there.

Yes, they are both 28" tall. I'm suggesting you need a 28" tire ON a 15" rim. You need the extra sidewall, which you are NOT going to get with a 17" wheel.

My 325 M&H'shave as much sidewall as a 26" tire on a 15" rim.

If you want the M&H's let me know, I have a set with literally 5 miles or less on them I wanna sell.
