Default ? about 325/45/17 racemaster drag radials

Currently running 275/40/17 m/t drag radials --- thinking about going to a 325/45/17 r&h drag radial which is a bigger tire. Question is will this tire fit on a 17 9.5" rim and plus what's needed to fit on a 95 z28.. Just the fenders rolled if that?? Just wondering if this is a better tire/traction for the street - then what I'm running now -- Car is pushing close to 600rwhp

Read the sticky it wont fit on the rim. That being said with that tire since its 28" you would need adj lower control arms and the adj phb wont be a bad idea either you might need to do some hammering of the inner fenders and roll the fender lips

Get the 295/45/17 MT if your looking for a taller tire.

It is recommended that tire be mounted on a 11" wheel.

This is true, esp since M&H redesigned that tire to be wider than the previous version.

I just mounted a pair of MT 295/45/17s as mentioned above on some Torque Thrust M 10.5" wheels and the lips of the wheels stick out even with the sidewall making the tire look more narrow and kinda goofy IMO. I think these look best on a 9.5-10" wide wheel.
OP - I haven't posted these up on here yet for sale (trying to spark some interest locally to avoid shipping), but if you're looking for the MT 295/45/17s, I have a pair brand new never ran that I'd sell you and save you the shipping charges. Let me know if you're interested.
