Thumbs up

Yes it will (if your 17s are one of the OEM F-body 17s that is), that's actually the factory spec'd size tire for that 17x9" rim.

The rims are actually on PUREVL's car. They are custom rims but in the 17" size. After watching the video of Don trying to hook the car I think these will help a little better than the Nitto's that are currently on the car. I know Don used some 10" M/T tires, but I've heard nothing but good things about the dr's.

Are the 295's available in a drag radial? I didn't happen to see them on MT's web site. I probably missed it though. I can't wait to get the car..
