so i have these rims on my mustang they are the sockers 17s
and i found new Mickey Thompson ET street Radial listed here for a reasonable price , only they are 275\45\17 , Will they fit? will it be ok for daily driving? and will they hook on the street?
I just put a set of 275/40-17 Nitto NT555R drag radials on my stock 17x8 rims. They bulge just a little but it isn't bad. Answer: yes, they will fit fine. But unless you let a little air out of them, you won't get all 100% of the tread pattern on the pavement, although it's probably 90-95%. My Nittos stick great on the street with 335 ft-lbs of torque through the auto and stock 3.27 gears. You're making more power than me (and more gearing), but the MTs are better than my Nittos. So I think they will be as sticky a tire as possible that will fit on a 17x8 inch rim. Only way to get more would be a bigger tire.
