DR question
 

Hey fellas,
sorry for the noob question, but what's the fattest set of DRs i can put on my stock 17s? would 255 fit? or could i go wider?

TIA

DR are not fast, cars are...lol

I think he said "Fattest"

Anyway, I have 245/60's on a set of 15x6 Probe wheels. I would think you would be fine with 255's and maybe be able to get something a little wider.

From what I gather from more knowledgeable members, wider is not necessarily better when it comes to slicks, et streets and drag radials. You want to keep the weight down and get a good contact patch relative to the power your putting down.

In my case, the tires are a little skinnier then I would like, but will be fine for N/A. We'll see how they do with a 100 shot.

Oops, Thats What I Get For Reading To Fast...im At Work And Im Not Allowed On The Internet..hehehe..shhhh Dont Tell Anybody!!! Lol

I'm gonna get a great deal on some DR 265s but i dont know if they would fit.
Anyone try 265 on the stock 17s?

My 8.5in wide 17in diameter rims were wrapped in 275/40/17 nitto 555rs'

SWEET, HOW MUCH DID THE COST YOU???

^^You cant go to tirerack or discounttiredirect.com for an answer? Fuk your lazy...

300$ +/-

Ya, do what alberto said above.

yup, lazy a$$ fuk....:icon39:

I have 275/40/17 MT DRs and they fit and work well on the stock 17in rims. They do pull the sidewall in though.

What do you mean pull the sidewall?

Should i go with 245 555Rs or 275 555Rs? The reason im asking is cause im pretty much stock and i think 275 would be over kill and just be extra weight right?

^^ this guy lol

wider is better with tires if you are having traction issues. dont ever read the recommended specs for tires, they are very very safe. i just put 315s on my 9.5s for my daily driving tires and they hook 5Xs better than my 265s did...


i mean there is a point where its overkill but thats why you just get more power...

LOL. When I read the post I was sure that he said fastest.
