Default 305/35/17 on 17x9.5

Hey guys, I will have a 600rwhp setup soon hopefully, I have 17x9.5 Z06 rims in the rear and want a more hefty/sticky tire in the back than the 275/40/17 BFG G-Force Sports. If they do fit, Whats a good recommended tire? nitto?

Thanks,
Rick

They will fit!!!! i have 17x9.5" zo6 wheels they fit and look great. i have also mounted a set on a 9 inch rim. most of the people that say they wont fit are all hear say. mine are 315/35/17, i've been past 155mph with them and daily drive the car. if you look through some of my more recent post i have a picture of them on the car. everyone says you cant corner carve with them,--------> no **** they are drag radials not a road course tire. Anyways they will fit, this is my second set and for a everyday tire i would recommend to any one. Good luck though.

Just because you can make them fit doesn't mean you should. Can you squeeze them on the rim yes but is it safe? No its not even an issue of corner carving just everyday driving on the highway curves and they have popped of the rim.

Yup, this topic pops up every other MF day

Also, I'm fairly sure that a 305/35/17 doesn't exhist.
