Default Anyone using a 315/35/17 Nitto Drag Radial on a 17X9.5 rim?

I hear they run smaller than a regular radial so just seeing if it works for you guys using them. I just don't want to put on a 275/40/17 and have it not fill out the rim. I currently run 295/35/18's on the back of my car right now with no rubbing, just got a set of 17's for the track cause looks like the 18 inch drags cost a good bit. Thanks for any help.

x2. Nittos are for people that might get caught in rain more than once or twice and want decent traction on the street. Get some MT ET streets

Thumbs down

NO NO NO . . .

315/35ZR17 DO NOT FIT 17" x 9" or even 17" x 9.5" . . .

THIS WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED PERIOD.

If you want to run a tire that large, buy the correct sized wheel, which is 10.5" or wider.
