    well this guy my dad knows dropped off these tires off at my dads shop yesterday!:excited:
    They were used for road racing. Will work great at the Drag strip also.

          P275 16's will NOT SAFELY fit your stock 16x8's. The widest tire you should go on a stock 8 inch wide wheel is probably 255. Looks like you are going to do some wheel shopping as well if you plan on using those.

                  thats why i asked what he was mounting them on. and ^ is right, 255 is the widest you can SAFELY go on stock rims.

                  look around for some 9" or wider rims ( i think 8.5" wide will work but i dont know how common they are )

                    Good luck finding 16" rims that are wider than 8" that fit our cars... they just don't make em :(

                      talked to the guy that gave me the tires he said that 8-9in wheel will work fine with theses wheels.
                      its what he has been running them on at the road course.

                        maybe id mount them on 8.5" but no way in hell would i put them on stock width rims. just not safe, period.
