Ok I bought some 17 inch Cobra Rs. Well Im looking to get the M/T drag radials. Well one problem, they only come in 275/40/17 in the 17 inch rims. So Right now i have 255s on the car with no problem. I was thinking if I remove the quad shocks and go with the 275s I just might be ok. Im controll arms on now, so really no need for the quads anyways. what do you guys think, or any experiences with these tire sizes??? thanks...

SPECIFICATIONS

New 17" Silver Cobra R replica wheels
New Cobra center caps
Wheel size 17 X 9
Offset 20 mm
Bolt pattern 4 lug, 4.25
