Are the 315/35/17 Nitto Drags too wide for a 9.5 inch wheel??? I keep hearing that Nitto's aren't really as wide as the tire measurement says, and I'm wondering if I can put these 315's on my 9.5" wheels without worrying about cupping and other issues.....anyone do this??

Re: Are the 315/35/17 Nitto Drags too wide for a 9.5 inch wheel??? I had 315 BFG DR's on my 9.5 FM5's. To be honest, they didnt fit very well and started to "wrinkle" when i would drop the pressure and race. I wore those things out and went to a 275/40 Nitto DR and loved every minute of that tire.
Pressure on the street was 20lbs.
Pressure at the track was 10-13lbs. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
