Will these drag radials work?
I have a 95 with stock rims. Can I use Nitto 275/40/R17 tires on my back rims with no problems? Is anyone doing this.
GSC specs- 25.6" tall 10.9" section width
Nitto specs-25.63" tall 10.91" section width

No problem, Many of us have used this tire on stock 9.5" rims for years.

Yes, I had those tires on my car at one point.

I have the 315/35/17's on a 9.5 inch rim. I run them with 22 lbs of pressure and they look and drive well. I understand Nitto has this size also, now.
Also, put on the tall axle snubbers and the car hooks well.

Hey mackeyred96, could you please post or email me a picture of your Vette woth the Draglite set up. I'm thinking of ditching my 5 spokes to save some weight and open the door to more tire size options. Thanks in advance.

Click on my sig photo, & you can see Weld Pro Stars.. the fronts are 15x3.5" & the rear are 15x10"..
also by using the 3.5" front wheels I saved 24 lb PER side almost a 50 lb saving.. the down side is ya gotta go around corners like me an "old man'
Or change tires at the track.. Mackey, & Ralph both switched to 3.5 front wheels & drive em every day w/no problems..
I have a set od Nitto 275s x 17 with only 20 runs on em...E mail me if interested..
