Question 265/40/17's who's runnin em?????

hey guys im going to be geting some new tires soon and i have 275/40 nitto drags on the rear now and 275/40 falken 451's on the front.
i want a little lower profile tire all around and im going to take the nittos off and get a spare set of 17's for em for when i go to the track but i just want a regular set of tires for dd duty. the 265's a just a little shorter than the
275's by a few hundreths of an inch so just barely shorter.
any one got any pic's?.
my nitto drags look taller than the falkens which run really narrow and i was wanting the regular 555 nittos and the ones that i have seen on cars in a 275look tall. thanks guys!

Goodyear and Toyo both make a 265/40-17 and I'm sure other manufacturers do too.

It's the factory size on the front of C5 Z06.

I've got them on the front of my car - stock supercars from a zo6. I've really been meaning to get some pics of my car and will attempt to tonight and post them up later tonight/tomorrow.

I have them on the front some OE Z06s on my car too, but it's sitting in the garage torn apart right now so I can't get any pics.

Heres a couple shots of the 265/40/17 fronts. Sorry for the delay, just got the car cleaned up and some pics shot today.





For more pics of the car I have a thread started here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedia-exchange/971850-before-after-turbo-98-z28-transformation.html - its a before and after of the big project I just finished.
