Hello Dennis yes its me Ill have to find some 17's if it will be better for me. what rim width should I look for and do you still have a friend who deals in tires ? if so could you pm me his info I cant find it anywhere.
the reason for looking for the 18's where these tires are going to have to do double duty for now I need new rears so I figured kill two birds with one stone but if i could find some 17's for the right price I'll do that instead. thanks for the help.

if you dont want to change for the track just go with the 275x35x18. i dont know the width of your rims or tire hight. but if your rims are at least 9.5 go with the one thats closest to the stock hight. the 295x35x18 is taller and wider so thats why you need at least a 9.5 rim

Dennis Thank you very much , I ordered my tires from Brian today seems like a good guy I will be going there this week end (Saturday) to have them installed. cant wait to get them.. Iam not going to the track till next week so I can give them a try.. Thanks again and by the way I did drop your name when I called him and he gave me a great price installed better than any other I had seen. I own you one .
