  • Will these tires fit on my 17 x 9.5 rims? Are they good tires?

    Brand new GFB R1's

    2 (two) 275-40-17
    2 (two) 315-35-17

    600 bucks for all of em, does that sound like a deal? Will the 315's fir on the back without spacers? will they get me good traction? just wondred if anyone here thought that this was a good deal.

      315s will not fit on 9.5" wheels safely.

        you can go 285-40 on those rims. you can't go 315 tho. u'd need 10.5 or 11 inch wide rims in the back.

            Do you guys think the 275's would go good in the back and my BFG 245/50/17's up in the front? Or is that large of a size bad for front tires?

                Hot damn I cant wait to hit the track. Gears, verter, driveshaft, drag radials, and lca's since last I went to drag. I had BETTER get into the low to mid 14's or I am going to be pissed.

                    sacramento raceway. I need to go ona nitro event so that the track is fully prepped. I get really tired of the poor prep job that they do on wensday fun nights. 2.2 60's are the best I could pull off stock verter ad gears.

                        www.cardomain.com/id/Lone_Wolf is the site that my pics are on. the wing gives the car even more of a raked look than before. it looks like a drag car from front angles. LCA's will help the traction on ur off nights.
