Anybody tried to squeeze the 275/40/17 ET Street on a Stock 17x8 GT wheel? I really don't want to buy two wheels since I just bought 20's. My plan was to Cruise with the 20's and use the stock wheels with the drag radials.

Even though this is a little off-topic (but still sorta not), would a size 17x9 rim fit on the stock tire?
