Is this for a street setup or track only? I just put a set of MT Et Street Drag Radials on my car and I am shocked how well they hook on the street it used to blister my Bridgestone Potenza's. I haven't tried them at the track yet but I feel they will do very well. They are 275/40/17 in size.

I use the 16x8 stock size with Nittos and cut 1.70-1.71 60 foots all day long. Everyone tells me 16 is better. The weight and stiffer sidewall on the lower profile tires offsets the gain with the width.
