ok ill ask the question that no one else seems to be asking. Why put a 325 on a 9.5" rim, i know its can be done bc of the thicker sidewall, but you are inherently LOSING tread width by putting it on a smaller rim. I'd love to see some side-by-side comparisons of the 325/45R17 mounted on a 9.5" vs an 11" rim

they might run narrow, but how narrow are we talking, sumitomos narrow. I've seen a 295 on a 12" vette rim, now they bulged a bunch. But if the manufacturer suggesting a rim size i think one should take note, and 11" is what they suggest on this tire.

Thouse 17s look really good, I've been reading about how impressed alot of people are of them over other DRs for street/track performance.
I just got the 275/55/16 MnH DRs 28.0x9.5x16 and they look really good. They just changed that PN and size from a 9.8 or somthing section width to 10.4. Old PN was RODO8 New is ROD18. Getting them mounted tomorrow, I'll post up how they are at the track.
There some more info on that size I put here.

Although they are narrow, they hook great. That's what I bought them for. It ain't a beauty contest, it's a drag race. I'll buy them again. Had a 1.502 short time last fall.
